WaPo on NRA and state legislation
Posted by David Hardy · 4 September 2006 11:55 AM
An interestingly unbiased article at the Washington Post.
I'd made one addition -- the article compares NRA's expenditures of $180 million to Brady's of $10 million. A better comparison would be compare Brady to NRA-ILA, which last I saw had a budget of about $15 million. ILA is NRA's federal and state lobbying, research and member info on legislative issues, PR and legal on the same. Brady Center doesn't have to worry about national matches, police training, firearms training, four or five magazines, a firearms technical branch, a range design division, etc., which is where the bulk of NRA expenditures go.
