From the Paper:

"This paper will examine the National Rifle Association and its relationship with the Congress of the United States. The research will investigate how the National Rifle Association has attempted to influence Congress and what decisions Congress has made concerning the National Rifle Association's interests during the 1980s. A substantial part of the investigation will compare what is found in the research with what is asserted by Barbara Hinckley in her Stability and Change in Congress. Hinckley writes with regard to interest groups in general that they are most successful when they are comprised of individuals who are representative of voters in the home districts of Congressmen. That is, the "Washington Lobbyist" does not have the influence of the lobbyist who is truly in touch with voters back home vitally interested in the issue."
