A quick Google of their 2016 tax filings wholeheartedly disagrees. They’ve donated a ton of money to campaigns to keep pro-NRA folks in office. They literally have their own PAC. They spent $412 million alone in 2016 for political activities. And they have a whole branch that is for lobbying alone.
Whether you agree with them or not, you really can’t deny that they lobby regularly.

More guns than people, highest rate of gun violence in the Western world, one of the highest rates of gun violence in the world....it’s clearly not the guns that are the issue!!!

The NRA is awful. They don’t do enough to protect the 2nd Amendment and in fact have many people in the higher ups that would gladly ban certain firearms. They are only about one thing...money.
Gun Owners of America is much much better

Hypothetical: Rape counts are on the rise....who’s to blame? Porn? Over sexualized society? Scantily dressed women? Pick one, we’ll ban it

That’s why it’s hilarious that anti-gun demonize the NRA.

Gilroy guy hated white hipsters but was a white nationalist, these two apparently are all well but one killed his family?
What all 3 have in common is they all have some sort of mental illness that makes them think this was ok.

And that's the money you know about, but hey dont suggest that the NRA is in the back pockets of several politicians, facts like that dont fly around these parts.

You realize you can buy a 100 round magazine for a handgun?

Maybe it's the diagnosis of mentally ill people? We don't knowingly sell guns to crazy folk

You do realize if the nra went away, another guns rights group would pop up, right?
You can be against money in politics, but I don’t buy the idea at all that the NRA is what is standing in the way between inaction and action
You think red state pols and purple state swing votes in congress would all of the sudden pass a bunch of major gun control if nra disappeared?

Clueless, the Federal law (Title 18 Section 922(g)) states ADJUDICATED as mentally ill. Simply having some form of mental illness does not automatically serve as a bar for exercising an individual right. Same ignorance that was behind the Obama-era rule change that put thousands of people receiving SSA benefits due to mental illness into the NICS database. Trump signed the repeal of that law February 2018 and was supported by the ACLU and dozens of mental health advocacy groups.

You think a company that donates hundreds of millions to several politicians would be ok with them passing laws and regs to make their product harder to get?

That all depends on what the new laws would be, which wouldn't nearly be as bad as most gun advocates think it would be.
