Reno, Nevada-AP -- The National Rifle Association is taking credit for President Bush's election victory.

N-R-A executive vice president Wayne LaPierre told delegates at their annual convention in Reno, Nevada, that they were the reason "Al Gore isn't in the White House."

N-R-A officials are now focusing on gun control advocates in Congress, and will join the court battle against campaign finance reform.

LaPierre said the group "must grow larger and tougher" to fight legislation it opposes.

It opposes waiting periods on gun purchases at gun shows and lawsuits against gun manufacturers.

N-R-A President Charlton Heston told the cheering crowd he would grant their wish to stay on for an unprecedented fifth term.

The 78-year-old actor then held up an 1874 rifle and reprised a signature line: "From my cold dead hands."

Never ask why but only the value of.
