First of all, a lot of gun companies that donate to the NRA use it heavily in the advertising. It's a way for them to win the trust and affection of gun buyers, and it's good marketing for them.
Secondly the gun industry is not big enough, and the NRA does not have enough money for there to be much of a moneybags effect. The NRA is ranked #50 on this list of all-time top political donors, behind
the hospital and dental assns. Top All-Time Donors, 1989-2012 | OpenSecrets
Yet the NRA is consistently ranked in the top 5, often #1, in ratings of most powerful lobbies in DC (based on a survey that is conducted of cong. staffers). Why is the NRA influential so out-of-proportion to its money? The obvious answer is that it has over 4.5 million members, and the members bring an intensity that other political interest groups can't match.
Really, you liberals should admire and try to emulate the NRA instead of constantly deriding us. Maybe you would actually win one of these political skirmishes once in a blue moon, if you did that.
Is it possible for the anti gun folks to not use childish name calling such as gun nuts, rump rangers, right wing nuts, etc? Is it possible for you guys to have a normal adult conversation? Sometimes its like talking to young teenagers.
You insult young teenagers. Many of them can actually carry on an intelligent conversation. Seems like most of anti-gun nutcases haven't progressed beyond a 3rd grade mentality.

Quit talking, you don't want to give them any ideas.
I bet the hookers in Houston are happy to have all those men with tiny penises down there.
I bet you think you are brilliant and creative for being the 10 millionth lefty internet poster to link gun ownership and penis size.
