Reply #34: Not all lobbying is for giant corporations and gun manufacturers are tiny [View All]

[karlrschneider]

compared with oil companies, airplane builders, etc. Most high quality guns are made abroad anyway...domestic production of civilian weapons is inconsequential. I personally think the NRA is pretty much idiotic and even though I've owned guns for over 55 years I never was a member. But they do represent a LOT of people even though its membership is a small percentage of gun owners. They probably get some support from the manufacturers for obvious reasons but I know without a doubt their power comes from individuals who are at least as passionate at preserving their 2nd Amendment rights as you are about nullifying them.
