Over 100 years later, in 1977, in what is known as the "Revolt at Cincinnati," new leadership changed the bylaws to make the protection of the Second Amendment right to bear arms the primary focus (ousting the focus on sportsmanship). The NRA notched a victory when Congress passed the Dickey Amendment, which deducted $2.6 billion from the CDC's budget, the exact amount of its gun research program, and restricted CDC (and, later, NIH) gun research. As of Jan. 2013, the NRA had approximately 3 million members, though estimates have varied from 2.6 million to 5 million members. In 2014 the NRA and NRA-ILA spent $3.36 million on lobbying activity aimed primarily at Congress but also the US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Army Corps of Engineers, and the Forest Service.
