But I Thought the NRA Was Rendered Ineffective...

... as a result of the 2008 elections:

NRA VICTORY IN SAN FRANCISCO LAWSUIT

SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC HOUSING OFFICIALS DROP ILLEGAL BAN ON FIREARMS POSSESSION IN PUBLIC HOUSING

Fairfax, Va. – An NRA-led coalition of self-defense civil rights groups including the Second Amendment Foundation and the California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA) has prevailed in a Second Amendment lawsuit challenging a ban on firearm possession in San Francisco public housing residences.

I guess there's more to this NRA thing that Paul Helmke would lead us to believe.

Thanks to the NRA's Rachel Parsons for the pointer.
