4. Well, there are a lot of "free riders" who are too cheap to pay NRA dues, but love their gunz.

I think there are tens of millions of gunners who not only support the NRA's gun expansion efforts, but their bigoted, greedy, callous right wing bent as well.

As long as gun profitteers -- manufacturers, gun stores, etc. -- and right wing politicians are willing to foot the bill, others are content to "benefit" from the expansion of lethal weapons and all the negatives that go with it. And there a plenty of other groups -- including state militias, the KKK, etc. -- who join with the NRA on bullying Congress and state legislatures.

I'd like to believe the NRA's power is relatively small, but it is not. And there power is not just limited to guns.
