The NRA’s influence on government officials and policy is solely focused on the interests of the profit-making gun and ammo manufacturers and against the interest of the vast majority of Americans, even most NRA members and gun owners.
Tyrannical rule is not when elected officials impose constitutionally allowed and reasonable restrictions on gun ownership and use, it is when 90% of Americans want universal background checks but a small group of profit-minded individuals and corporations, and those paraniod and delusional enough to feel guns are needed and will protect them from the government, pervert the political system to impose costs and death upon people who don’t want it.
We don’t need guns to get rid of the tyrants, we need government officials that are not afraid to stand up and possibly lose their job rather than give in and do the bidding of an evil few. We need organizations like the NRA not to bully elected officials.
