NRA Reminds Party of its Power
San Diego Union-Tribune, Sept. 2-With the federal ban on assault weapons set to expire in less than two weeks, nobody expected the gun lobby to ignore the Republican National Convention. And it didn't. Its leading organization, the National Rifle Association, has sponsored several receptions this week. Last night it co-sponsored a bash for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who could help or hinder efforts to extend the ban. The bash featured Isaac Hayes and Kid Rock and lasted into the wee hours. (Quote by Gary Jacobson, a political scientist at the University of California, San Diego.)
