I'm trying (and failing) to catch up with a major backlog of "Minority Report with Sam Sedar" podcasts. I'm in December 2012 right now, shortly after Obama's re-election. In one Friday interview with regular guest Cliff Schecter (sp?), Cliff discusses how the NRA got virtually nothing for their money in challenges to Democrats... the success rate was well into single digits and was used to "show" that the pro-gun movement was ineffective and on the ropes, being overtaken by demographic changes in society.

I guess it depends on the metrics used.

The NRA has won most of the easy races and is now focusing on the more expensive key swing races. Kang Colby May 2016 #10
