520 |a Once a grassroots club dedicated to gun safety, the NRA ballooned into a powerful lobbyist organization that maintained an iron hold on gun legislation in America. The millions in small fees from members across the country funded hidden, lavish lifestyles of designer suits, private jets and yachts, martini lunches and Champagne dinners-- while the group manipulated legislators and flirted with a Russian spy. Mak shows that in 2012 the NRA's grip on Washington began to loosen in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre gave a speech claiming the solution was not fewer guns, but more guns, in schools. Poor leadership and mismanagement by LaPierre led to a power struggle between LaPierre and former NRA president Oliver North that fractured the organization. Mak paints a vivid picture of the gun group's rampant corruption and slow decline. -- adapted from Amazon info
