The NSSF isn't the NRA. The NSSF is the corporate lobby that exists to pursue (and shield) the interests of firearm manufacturers. The NRA is engaged in other business™.

Quote:They not only collect money from their members, they get huge donations from the firearm companies and they court politicians too. Now if you want to claim that is not a lobby, I could give a shit less, they still do that.Buddy, lol...the NRA -does- lobby, but it's not the one that you're talking about when you talk about corporate lobbies protecting manufacturers. Another lobby does that, quietly. The NSSF. They're far more effective at that task due to their relative anonymity, whereas the high profile nature of NRA efforts and allegiance point to the actual service that -it- provides.
