Blood Money: How the Gun Industry Bankrolls the NRA

The depth and breadth of gun industry financial support for the National Rifle Association makes clear that the self-proclaimed “America’s oldest civil rights organization” is, in fact, the gun industry’s most high-profile trade association. While the NRA works to portray itself as protecting the “freedoms” of its membership, it is, in fact protecting the gun industry’s freedom to manufacture virtually any gun or accessory it sees fit to produce. As NRA Board Member Pete Brownell, owner of Brownells, “the world’s largest supplier of firearms accessories and gunsmithing tools,” wrote on his website in his successful campaign to join the NRA's board:

Having [NRA] directors who intimately understand and work in leadership positions within the firearms industry ensures the NRA's focus is honed on the overall mission of the organization. These individuals bring a keen sense of the industry and of the bigger fight to the table.3​

And who supports the gun manufactures?? the several hundred million gun owners in this country?? Without buyers they would exist.

I know its a real stretch to expect a dumb ass like Lack o Sense to understand a simple concept like that.

WTF is wrong with people like YOU? What is with the "blood money" remark? There is something morally corrupt with people that think like you. You have picked an enemy and now they must be destroyed truth be a casualty. The NRA does not condone killing as you so sickly imply. I don't belong but the liberals are driving me to the point of joining the NRA.

As if you or the the fail in the WH gives a sh.. about children or anyone else. It is really hard to take the party of abortion seriously when they tell us it is for the children.

[Pheonixops]

What's 'blood money' about a group of companies aka an industry supporting a lobbying group that makes their industry money?

Absolutely, although in fact there is no comparison.

Planned Parenthood is responsible for more deaths LAST YEAR than guns are in the last 40 years!

Even counting SUICIDES!

Exactly. They support the possession of firearms for defense. But you can't get that through the thick skulls of liberals.
