Most powerful in terms of money spent? Because they don't even make the top 30. CVS, the pharmacy chain, spends more money on lobbying.
Or do you mean more powerful because they're backed up by the huge percentage of gun owners in this country? How big does a group represented have to be before you stop calling them a "special interest lobby"? There are more gun owners than there are teachers, but the teachers spend more on lobbying.
