It's really very simple. The NRA exists to protect the profit margins of the death merchants.

Is that how you think their lobbyists function? If a republicunt threatens to support a gun control bill they threaten him with finding a primary opponent that they will finance to run against him. If a democrat threatens to support a gun control bill they threaten to finance the campaign of a republicunt shithead that they can control.
In such ways does the kleptocracy function.
