They'll take full credit too for "supposedly stopping" the EPA looking into banning lead based ammo.

It's a win-win scenario for the NRA for fund raising possibilities:

If they'd banned it: the NRA would come out and say they need your $$$ to fight to overturn it, or fight to keep them from going further...

If they don't ban it (and they didn't): the NRA will now come out and say they were successful in THIS fight, but still need your $$$ for the next one - as surely there will be a next one.

Win-win.

This is, of course, how most if not all non-profits function. However, the NRA is particularly "slimy" when it comes to this aspect.

The high-end, plush office headquarters/accommodations and $1,000 suits don't do much to help their image either.
