The Cornerstone of NRA Influence: The Ballot Box

We’ve Fought the NRA for Decades—We’ve Never Seen It as Panicked as It Is Now from the Daily Beast
"In the immediate aftermath of the Parkland shooting, we drew on our combined 50 years of experience battling the National Rifle Association to predict that nothing would change on guns.  Those same 50 years of experience now tell us we were wrong. Why? Because we have never seen the NRA more vulnerable. The NRA derives its power on one thing and one thing only: their ability to determine outcomes at the ballot box."
WHAT HAPPENS if being a lawmaker with great scores from the NRA becomes a LIABILITY in an election!?  What happens if young anti-gun voters begin showcasing ads blasting you for those scores (and the NRA campaign donations) that have spelled electoral victory for you for years!?  It may not happen in Georgia -- but in suburban Illinois, Indiana or Michigan it might. -- Nuggetsman
