NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre wasn’t always a gun enthusiast. In fact, when LaPierre first joined the NRA in 1978, he was more comfortable on K Street than in a duck blind. “The safest place you could be with Wayne and a gun back then was in a different state, because he really did not know anything about guns,” former NRA spokesman John Aquilino tells FRONTLINE. “Politics, yes; guns, no.”

Watch FRONTLINE’s “Gunned Down: The Power of the NRA” Tues., Jan. 6, 2015 on PBS stations and online at pbs.org/frontline/gunned-down.
