How many congress-members support less than 2% citizens?

Don't be fooled by NRA's membership claims - Baltimore Sun

... The number of NRA supporters is being touted as 4.2 million. I looked up the U.S. Census figures. The nation's 2012 population was 311,591,917. Those under 18 comprised 23.7 percent or 73,847,284. That means the total U.S. adult population is 237,744,633.

If 4.2 million of those adults are members of the NRA, that means that 233,544,633 adults are not members of the NRA. That is, 98.2 percent of all U.S. adults choose not to join the National Rifle Association.

Now, what I want to know is how many members of Congress are beholden to the NRA when it represents fewer than 2 percent of adult Americans?

Not to mention that its very likely that NRA has, shall we say, exaggerated their membership numbers.

And, most Americans don't agree with NRA's gun-in-every-hand crap:

Gun owners vs. the NRA: What the polling shows

None of this means that we should not own guns. Its just means that we're not being represented fairly. And, it means we've given way too much power to a damn cartel of gun manufactures.
