They are a paid lobbying organization for the gun manufacturing industry. Their primary cause is ensuring that the companies they are defending have access to the largest possible pipe of dollars imaginable. They do this by creating an legal environment with as few industry regulations as possible. But also, by creating a culture among their customer base that drives demand for those guns.
They aren't merely crazy. They have cognitive and emotional control. They just choose to exercise it for their client.
They are greedy and morally bankrupt. They are calculating and ruthless. They are deceptive and manipulative.
They need to be exposed for what they really are, and not just labeled with platitudes like "lunatics".
