The gun group has put $11 million into midterm races this year — less than half what it spent four years ago.

Lower profile. not spending cash to promote candidates.

Losing election to gun control advocates.

its really hard to believe they have lost power so quick

Maybe just maybe we have turned the corner.

To be honest, the NRA reminds me of one of those televangelists that’s always begging for donations because they are on the brink of economic doom, yet always seems to have enough money for the big ticket items. They ain’t going anywhere any time soon.

As for why midterm spending dropped off I’d say it was because they saw which way the political wind was blowing and figured it’d be a waste of money. They’ll save it for a day when it’ll be more effective. They ain’t exactly dumb, you know.
