How the NRA Exerts Influence Beyond Political Contributions

After a mass shooting, the spotlight inevitably turns to the National Rifle Association, the nation’s most powerful gun lobby and one of the most significant donors to political campaigns each year.

The NRA’s campaign contributions to individual federal candidates are well-documented, with each contribution limited to $2,700 per cycle to each candidate or their personal political action committee.

But political influence from outside groups is far more than just cold hard cash in the form of direct campaign contributions.

The Washington Post reports, for example, that the NRA has donated less than $4 million to members of Congress in the last 18 years. In an era where some Senate races cost nearly $100 million, $4 million seems like very little. Here are other ways the NRA plays a role in policy and politics:

Thank God there are NRA members and NRA guns in Texas to protect the peace.

PS. This thread is entirely political, but if you fear it for some reason that eludes normal people you will move it, likely out of fear

I quit these jackasses once they became a political organization having nothing to do with gun rights advocacy.

NRA is good because they are the biggest but my favorite is 'Jews for the Preservation of the Second Amendment ' , JPFO is more hardcore than NRA although NRA seems to becoming more HARDCORE Fenton . -------------- just a comment .

How the hell do you think they effect gun rights except though the political process and law suits?

Taking gun rights away is pure politics. Are they supposed to just stand on the sidelines?

Any organization that pisses off progressives has to have some good to it...

every American should think it through very carefully . Americans have had guns since the beginning of the USA and both righty and lefty elites , politicians have been trying to remove our Guns and Gun Rights for at least 70 years . Americans should ask themselves , WHY do Elites and lefties want to disarm Americans ??

Yeah, we need more guns out on the streets in these times. If you do not have the strength to fight off your attacker, that you will need something else to defend yourself.

General comment is , there no reason for an American to take on an attacker in hand to hand combat in a civilized country like the USA . Heck , cops don't take on attackers and criminal in hand to hand combat and neither do politicians . See mrobama who has lots of armed bodyguards paid for by Taxpayers . Just a comment .
