dc.description.abstract | The focus of this thesis is to examine the National Rifle Association's current status in light of claims that its influence has seriously declined. I contend that, while it has suffered a series of minor setbacks in the past fifteen years, the NRA has remained a powerful lobbying force. In fact, the apparent "defeats" in Congress have been a rallying point for both the leadership and rank and file membership of the NRA. Simply put, the NRA is thriving on the conflicts it helps create. | |
