A behind-the-scenes look at one of the most powerful lobbying organizations in America, the National Rifle Association. Former NRA lobbyist Richard Feldman joins us to talk about his new book “Ricochet”. It’s a scathing critique of the organization, combined with Feldman’s personal story of his long association with the NRA, the issues he worked on – and how and why he left.
