By going directly to www.nra.org I was able to quickly find
how they receive what seems to me to be a reasonable way of
funding their organization without the firearms industry
being involved one bit.
1. Donations - A "Donate Today" link that says "Give a fast
and easy one-time gift"
2. Becoming a member - there are membership dues
3. Store - Buy stuff straight from the NRA (shirts, gun
safes, etc.)
By clicking on the "NRA Foundation" link there was a very
prominent graphic saying that $160 million was "Raised by
Friends of NRA"
So to say the least, I don't think the NRA has any need for
help from the firearms industry to pay for the CEOs salary
of less than $1 million.
Now before calling me an NRA lover, I'm not. I'm not an NRA
member, nor plan to be. I grew up with guns in the house
and learned how to shoot and be safe around guns. I don't
currently own a gun, but I plan on getting my concealed
weapons permit and a hand gun soon. I'm just looking at
facts rather than news talking points that don't take the
entire context into account.
The facts are that there really are a bunch of normal people
in this country that support an organization like the NRA
financially.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
