This Is Not Your father's NRA

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/this-is-not-your-fathers-nra-86885.html


For years, Washington largely turned a blind eye to the epidemic of gun violence in America, and it’s no great secret why: Democrats and Republicans alike were scared silent by the perceived power of the national gun lobby. The National Rifle Association spent countless election cycles and millions of dollars casting itself as a political juggernaut that House members, senators and even presidents should defy at their own peril — and for the longest time it worked.

Not anymore. As it turns out, the tiger is made of paper.
