This podcast episode examines how Congressman John Dingell transformed the NRA through his lobbying efforts, the NRA's transformation from a sportsmen's organization to a powerful lobbying force, and its response to the Columbine school shooting and the push for background checks. It also explores Dingell's ambivalence about his role in polarizing the debate around guns, and the ethical implications of a member of Congress serving on the board of an advocacy group.
