The NRA and money

We want responsible leadership in light of the recent massacre. End the NRA. The NRA doesn't give a shit about our rights, they're just a group of people that want to get rich at the expense of murdered innocent people. The NRA's silence during this recent rampage is deafening because they can't defend the indefensible.

Wayne LaPierre has gone on record that Obama is going to end the 2nd amendment, that scare tactic increases gun sales which makes the NRA monetarily wealthier. As long as the NRA keeps lobbying for less gun control while simultaneously throwing money on politicians, the richer they become.

Let me repeat this. The NRA doesn't give a shit about our rights, they're more concerned about becoming rich.

How do increased gun sales make the NRA richer? Who exactly is getting richer? Do you honestly think its worth it to LaPierre to be called a murderer and accused of unfathonable evils for $970k per year?
