Title: The NRA, A Criminals' Best Friend: How the National Rifle Association Has Handcuffed Federal Gun Law Enforcement

Publication Date: October 2006

What does it say?

The National Rifle Association (NRA) publicly claims that we don't need to adopt new federal gun laws, we just need to enforce the ones we already have.  This report exposes the NRA's hypocrisy on this topic.  The NRA has systematically acted to weaken our existing gun laws while at the same time waging a war of intimidation against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

How can I use it?

Use the evidence in this report to provide concrete counter-examples to the NRA's dangerous rhetoric and actions to undermine our already weak gun laws.
