According to a report in The Huffington Post, since 2005, the NRA has potentially hauled in nearly $40 million from the $12-billion-a-year gun industry.
Two of the NRAs biggest financial contributors are foreign-owned firearms companies from Italy Beretta ($1 million to $5 million level) and Benelli ($500,000 to $1 million level).
Here are five of the NRAs biggest gun industry backers who have contributed $1 million or higher. They include the biggest financial contributor MidwayUSA, a distributor of high-capacity magazine clips, but also oil and gas company Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. Other gun industry donors include Beretta USA Corporation, Pierce Bullet Seal Target Systems, LLC, and Springfield Armory, Inc.

I'm certainly glad of that. It's about time gun makers stepped up to the plate to fight for our rights.
It's about time? The Arms Industry has been doing it and that's why the NRA wants those high capacity magazines. The NRA doesn't represent people.
