Want to highlight the lie that NRA represents gun manufacturers. No, NRA stands with its 5 million+ members.
"The NRA’s biggest source of income—$164 million in 2016—was dues paid by its roughly 5 million members, which start at $30 per year. “Contributions,” which presumably include money donated to the group’s political-action committees, brought in another $104 million in 2016. Much smaller revenue sources include advertising in magazines the NRA owns, such as American Rifleman, and fees earned from shows and programs the group runs."

It doesn't change the fact that the GOA and the NAGR are far more principled than the NRA and won't sell us out.
Join the NRA as life member and vote those traitors out.
I was a life member up until 2012, when they endorsed Romney over Ron Paul. Then I dug deeper and saw how they always toe the blue line instead of standing up for everyday people.
Since 2005, the gun industry and its corporate allies have given between $20 million and $52.6 million to it through the NRA Ring of Freedom sponsor program. Donors include firearm companies like Midway USA, Springfield Armory Inc, Pierce Bullet Seal Target Systems, and Beretta USA Corporation. Other supporters from the gun industry include Cabala's, Sturm Rugar & Co, and Smith & Wesson.
The NRA also made $20.9 million — about 10 percent of its revenue — from selling advertising to industry companies marketing products in its many publications in 2010, according to the IRS Form 990.
Additionally, some companies donate portions of sales directly to the NRA. Crimson Trace, which makes laser sights, donates 10 percent of each sale to the NRA. Taurus buys an NRA membership for everyone who buys one of their guns. Sturm Rugar gives $1 to the NRA for each gun sold, which amounts to millions. The NRA's revenues are intrinsically linked to the success of the gun business.
