SummaryThe National Rifle Association is among both the most effective and most controversial lobbying groups in the United States today. While their initial intention is to preserve people’s right to bear arms, they have done so by staunchly opposing any piece of legislation specifically targeting any form of gun control. This has allowed legislation that could prove to be harmful to citizens to pass, and potentially life saving legislation to fail. While the NRA has made some big concessions over the years, they have remained largely successful in their mission to ensure that gun control laws do not supersede individual rights.
