My take: NRA's lobbying and organizing are legendary. They have ended or enhanced the careers of many politicians over the years. Obama's war machine on the other hand, actually shut down the Clinton election machine to win the Presidency, and won a second term even with a crappy economy. Mr. O's community organizing talents are not to be shrugged off.

President Obama's network across this country, grassroots individuals, who organize, volunteered with their time to get the president reelected are much more powerful than the NRA lobby. And I think that you can expect to see that network activated, very soon. And for good reason.
The NRA was always the target of the Sandy Hook-exploiting media. The NRA receives no public funding, and writes no laws. Yet the media immediately suggested that the NRA abandon its positions and those of its members or face public wrath. No such suggestion was ever made with regard to the ACLU’s defense of ultra-violent video games. That’s because the NRA is a serious opponent to the left’s public sway. And so it must be destroyed.
But Obama’s in his second term, so he sees no need to hide behind Media Matters any longer. Now he’ll just use that vast infrastructure he’s built to go after all of his enemies, the NRA included. This president has no interest in achieving policy solutions. He's interested in blowing up those who oppose him. The campaign never ends for President Obama.
This is a genuine clash between two giants, folks. This battle is nowhere near won. I am rejoining the NRA after nearly 20 years being somewhat disgusted with them, and I urge you to do the same. Just because they don't win every battle or just because they don't always fight with the vigor that we might expect, doesn't mean that we can afford not to support our fellow warriors in this time of need.
We need to not only win the fight against gun bans, magazine bans, registration, and other regulations this time around, we also need to shut down the gun banners in a way that sends them reeling from the pain we caused them. Make them never forget.
