Passion is exactly what makes the NRA so influential, giving it the
ability to combine "massive financial firepower with large scale
grassroots support. Every dollar they spend is backed up by the fact
that they have members that are going to hit the streets and canvass on
their behalf. If they’re angry at a particular politician or if the NRA
scores that politician badly or you know key votes a particular vote the
NRA doesn’t like."
