The NRA is nothing but a pork barreled lobbyist group that forces gun manufactures to keep bankrolling them. They are essentially a union on steroids, but the right wingers don't care.

-- Violence Policy Center, released 2011Organized Corporate Solicitation Program Disproves Longstanding NRA Claim That It's Independent of Gun Industry
Washington, DC--The National Rifle Association (NRA) receives millions of dollars directly from domestic and foreign gun manufacturers and other members of the firearms industry through an organized corporate outreach program according to a new report issued today by the Violence Policy Center (VPC).
The report, Blood Money: How the Gun Industry Bankrolls the NRA, reveals that since 2005 contributions from gun industry "corporate partners" to the NRA total between $14.7 million and $38.9 million. Total donations to the NRA from all "corporate partners"--both gun industry and non-gun industry--for the same time period total between $19.8 million and $52.6 million. The vast majority of funds--74 percent--contributed to the NRA from “corporate partners” come from members of the firearms industry: companies involved in the manufacture or sale of firearms or shooting-related products.
Despite the NRA's historical claims that it is not financially allied with the gun industry, including the current disclaimer on its website that it “is not affiliated with any firearm or ammunition manufacturers or with any businesses that deal in guns and ammunition,” NRA "corporate partners" include many of the world's best known gunmakers as well as such companies as Xe, the new name of the now infamous Blackwater Worldwide--known for its abuses in the Iraq war--which alone contributed between $500,000 and $999,999 to the NRA since 2005.
So, keeping war weopons out of the hands of the crazies is gun grabbing. And what do you think is going to happen if all this is just passed over, and then we have another Sandy Hook?
Not only that, but the fact that in a short time, there are going to be more deaths from guns than from traffic accidents. This is no cause for concern?
Well, some good ideas have been suggested as to how to prevent the ease at which these guns are aquired by anyone with the cash. But those ideas have been met with the same rejection as suggestions that actually do infringe on your right to own a gun.
Absolutism, meet absolutism. In other words, address this issue with reason, or in the future when we lose another bunch of innocents to a crazy with the type of war weopon you people are so determined to keep in open circulation. And then you will see some draconian gun laws, and blame for that will lay on you.
The more the rabid gun owners rant, whine and lie, the greater the likelihood rational citizens will demand Congress take some action to control guns. Many of the posts since Sandy Hook on this message board are quite disturbing, so disturbing as to cause a rational reader to wonder if some of you should ever be trusted to own, possess or have in you custody and control any gun.

If this tragedy does not merit a responsible debate about the presence of assault weapons on our streets, I dread the tragedy that does.Yes, they do.They don't represent the majority of gun owners anymore.
Please stop using this tragedy to push your political agenda.
Thanks in advance.

oh no, that's true shit. Though i would take issue with the verb "forces", as this is a very much symbiotic relationship...

-- so you have a public pr organization spreading gun pacifier fear, funded directly by manufacturers who stand to gain directly from that fearmongering as the gun show sheeple hear the call and obey, bleating "yes master, may i have another gun?".
Do the freaking math.
Whenever the debate starts in D.C., the NRA doesn't get to sidetrack the issue with talk about the cosmetic aspects of assault weapons. And they don't get a veto on any other discussions.If this tragedy does not merit a responsible debate about the presence of assault weapons on our streets, I dread the tragedy that does.Yes, they do.
Please stop using this tragedy to push your political agenda.
Thanks in advance.
Well please go on suggest something that hasn't already been tried.

We of the gun owners world are the rational ones. Do you have something to suggest that hasn't already been tried?
