I'm sure the NRA receives a lot of contributions from gun manufacturers, but on the whole, I think they're driven more by idealism than money.
I couldn't say anymore because I haven't been member for years, for one reason only: once you join, they hit you up for donations on a weekly basis. I'm more than willing to pay annual dues, but they're worse than "Will Work For Food" people under the interstate overpass. EVERY cry for a donation is qualified with the 'fact" that your Second Amendment Rights hinge on that very donation.
IMO, they do themselves a disservice acting in such a manner.
Well Gunny you'd know more about the NRA than I would if I took a month of Sundays to research them but I do harbour that sneaky little suspicion that it's a very clever ploy by an industry group to maximise profits through increased sales.
Having said that, I'm not scared of firearms, I've carried one throughout my adult working life. I've owned a few private weapons. I'm all for responsible gun ownership and use of course. I know my culture is different from that of an American so I'm not going to pronounce on the Second Amendment and the rest of it.
But I still think the manufacturers are cunning bastards
