Litigation is the process of taking legal action and is commonly used by interest groups to pressure officials into achieving their goals. They use these legal strategies to persuade the general public’s opinion on a certain point that the interest group is backing up or sharing. Litigation allows these interest groups to fight for their cause through the court system with many other interest groups.
Interest groups also use campaign contributions to affect the public’s opinion because campaign contributions are a much faster way to give the public the results. Also with campaign contributions, it allows the interest groups to focus in on one main issue which makes it much easier to get their point across to the public. When interest groups are allowed to focus in on one main point, it makes getting that point across much easier and allows them much more room to do whatever is necessary to express that point.
Another way that interest groups use to achieve their objectives is grassroots lobbying/mass mobilization. Interest groups use Mass mobilization because it allows them to spread the word much faster about whatever they are trying to get across to the public than most other forms of campaigning. Mass mobilization is also most oftenly used to overthrow an incumbent politician. And grassroot lobbying is used by interest groups to mobilize mass amounts of people that are in favor or against a bill, regulation and or rules, or actions taken by the government. It also requires much less money and causes lawmakers to spring into action due to threats such as voting him/her out of office.
The NRA uses lobbying as a primary technique to achieve their objective because lobbying allows the NRA more power. The more people behind a bill or regulation, the more powerful that group is. And the NRA is one of the biggest interest groups in the United States and will continue to be one of the biggest because there are so many people behind the NRA backing them up, that it makes fighting against the NRA very hard. Litigation and campaign contribution are not as useful because they are easier to fight against and Lobbying would make much more sense due to the amount of people that are in favor of the NRA.
