pig....in some respects, without the corporate interests, its much like the gun control issue in the 90s.

Congress would never have been able to enact the Brady bill or any meaningful gun control legislation without the support of the NRA and its hold over many Republican members of Congress.

Concessions were made by the gun control advocates, NRA got some its pet provisions included (gun show loophole) or other provisions removed, and the bill became law with bi-partisan support.
