Gun owners grill Obama at town hall, NRA sits it out

6. Would you care to post any actual evidence other than your own impressions

demonstrating the weakening or diminishment of the NRA or any other major gun rights organization in the country.

Are they losing large numbers of members? Are donations slowing? Losing elections of preferred candidates? Have gun control measures passed Congress or most states, even after their purportedly "disastrous" performance after Sandy Hook? Are gun purchases on the decline?

I'm not a member or even supporter of the NRA. However, I would need to be both ignorant and blind to believe the NRA has become anything but more powerful in the last few decades. The obvious empirical evidence and current polling speaks for itself, no matter have repulsive or upsetting you may find the organization or its support of broad gun rights.

Again, the President and gun control leaders constantly complain about and attack the NRA because, despite only officially representing about 5% of gun owners in the USA, they have become the de facto spokespeople for gun rights, and as the abject lack of gun control legislation, pitiable futility and weakness of the president's executive orders, historic and increasing firearm sales, and current polling with an ever increasing majority supporting gun rights clearly indicate, the NRA and gun rights are unequivocally winning virtually all pertinent political and legal battles.
