What this means is that the NRA is more likely to pay heed to gunmakers at the expense of rank-and-file members, who actually tend to support gun control.

Yeah, right. What a laugh.

4 million of us pay annual dues to the NRA because we all really just want more gun control.

The cause of firearm makers and myself are the same. If they are doing well, I am doing well, and vice versa.
