The NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) is its lobbying division, which manages its political action committee (PAC), the Political Victory Fund (PVF). Over its history the organization has influenced legislation, participated in or initiated lawsuits, and endorsed or opposed various candidates at local, state, and federal levels.

The NRA has for decades sought to limit the ability of the ATF to regulate firearms by blocking nominees and lobbying against reforms that would increase the ability of the ATF to track gun crimes

So knock yourselves out. Buy an A bomb for all I care, but politically it is an A bomb up right wing politicians rear ends who stand in the way of needed rational gun control legislation.

The 60's were real good to you. So in your mind. The NRA is stopping the ATF from stopping gun crime. OK that is why the inner cities are a blood bath. Gotch Ya!
