This image released by the Fresno County Sheriff via KMPH-TV shows guns seized from Christopher Haga, who was arrested is Sept. 2011 after police found this stash of assault rifles. Haga reportedly offered legal help from the National Rifle Association. The NRA has taken on California and other states over their strict requirements on who can carry concealed weapons and cities like San Francisco over their bans of high-capacity magazines. Their multi-million legal campaign has had mixed success so far, but the NRA appeals its losses, publicizes its wins and decides where to fight next. (AP Photo/Fresno County Sheriff via KMPH-TV)

FILE - In this August 1971 file photo, American troops who are addicted to heroin sit together at a U.S. Army amnesty center in Long Binh, Vietnam. Heroin’s reputation in the 1970s was "a really hard-core, dangerous street drug, a killer drug, but there’s a whole generation who didn’t grow up with that kind of experience with heroin," said New York City Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan, whose office was created in 1971 in response to heroin use and related crime. "It’s been glamorized, certainly much more than it was during the '70s." (AP Photo/Neal Ulevich)
