Inside the NRA is an intensely researched and powerfully written examination of one of the most influential lobbying groups in America, the National Rifle Association. In this work, famed muckraker and Pulitzer Prize winner Jack Anderson scrutinizes an organization that began humbly enough in 1871 as a club established by two Civil War veterans to "promote rifle practice" and "suitable ranges" for that practice.
Since that time, however, the organization has grown to a membership that exceeds 3.5 million people whose tight cabal of leaders reside in Washington, D.C. Today the openly stated focus of the NRA is to strive to protect the Second Amendment right to "keep and bear arms.".
As Anderson skillfully uncovers the propaganda techniques, congressional pocket lining, and private agendas of the NRA leadership, the astonishing truth about just how far this group will go to protect its Second Amendment right is revealed. Ironically, it is the 3.5 million members of the NRA themselves who are going to be the most disturbed by what they read.
Inside the NRA provides an up-close-and-personal look at the three powerful leaders of the NRA, and reveals a shocking dossier of their different backgrounds. Through this examination of its potentially corrupt leadership comes an understanding of why the NRA has amassed huge cash deficits that are slowly bankrupting the organization.
Digging even deeper, Anderson reveals the secret ties that the NRA has to the growing militia movement, how and why the NRA has attempted to make martyrs out of David Koresh and Randy Weaver, and the true reasons behind the NRA's hatred of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF).
Including an examination of the Brady Bill, a look at the NRA's true Constitutional rights, a study of the efficacy of handguns as legitimate protection, and with appendices that document NRA contributions to congressional and senatorial leaders, Inside the NRA is a comprehensive and cutting expose on one of the nation's largest and most secretive organizations.
