FILE - In this Feb. 28, 2013 file photo, Todd Vandermyde, the powerful Illinois lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, speaks at a House committee meeting on assault weapons in Springfield, Ill. Vandermyde is helping to rewrite a state law that he broke. In an article published Wednesday, April 2, 2014, Vandermyde said he was only exercising his rights as a citizen when he intervened to push legislation to loosen restrictions on transporting crossbows and enlisted the House Republican leader to tighten authority for police to enter private land. Vandermyde was ticketed by state conservation police officers and fined $120 for carrying an uncased, loaded crossbow on an ATV in December during a hunting trip. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman, File)
