The Rise and Fall of the NRA and What it‘s Cost Us: A Conversation with Tim Mak
For the past 40 years, the debate about the proliferation of guns in America has revolved around the NRA. All public policy has been shaped and driven by the political influence of the NRA. Few if any lobbying groups in American history have ever been so powerful for so long.
