The media says the NRA is a hardcore, no compromise group. Is that true?
If you trust Dan Rather or Peter Jennings to define your political movement, nothing written on this site will change your mind. But consider this: the NRA has played a part in promoting nearly every major gun control measure that has passed the U.S. Congress. To the media, the battle over gun rights is only sexy when it can pit two sides against each other: Sarah Brady vs. Charlton Heston sells newspapers. The media also wrongly attributes any activity by gun owners as NRA originated: nothing could be further from the truth.
