How much influence does the NRA have in your state?

This is part of an excellent series by the Washington Post on "The Hidden Life of Guns" that discusses the campaign contributions of the NRA in the 2010 elections. Also of note from the article:

"The National Rifle Association spent $6.7 million in this year's midterm elections, with 98 percent benefiting Republican candidates. A powerhouse in elections, the NRA has spent nearly $75 million on campaigns in the past 20 years. Lawmakers have come to fear the group's motivated 4 million members, many of whom make gun rights a deciding factor in their vote."
