WashPo: NRA faces challenges
Or so it says. I remember reading media predictions of NRA decline back in the 1970s, when it became a popular media theme, and NRA membership was around 800,000. They can be put with the Popular Mechanics stories predicting that by now we would all have flying cars and personal robots to do the housework.

I do want my fly car. I was promised a flying car at the 1964 NY World's Fair. 49 years later?
I wondered why the media couldn't find that mysterious 85% NRA members agreeing with universal background checks. MY God! There were 88k people at that convention!!! Must be the poll numbers are a tad off.
What is an alternative spelling for precatory?
W-a-s-h-i-n-g-t-o-n P-o-s-t.
I want a graph showing when I'm supposed to get my flying car compared to the predicted demise of the NRA.
I think the difference twixt the two is that the fly car predicationd have gotten better (read: further out).
That's funny. The NRA has ten times as many members as the Washington Post has readers, and has increased in membership by 25% - 1 Million new members - in the last year. It added 250,000 members in the month following Newtown. The Washington Post on the other hand has seen it's subscription base decline by 33% in the last ten years, and the decline is accelerating! They are in free-fall, and indeed, may cease to exist within a couple of years.
