My health is fine FYI. I am simply tired of one lobby holding our entire nation hostage to the tune of 36,000 firearm deaths per year.
This is a great example of what the NRA actually does. Do they seem to be advancing or protecting profits here....or a political ideology?
While the NRA fluffs for fake news and trumpsterism - the NSSF quietly lobbies for deregulation on arms embargo to active warzones and states under UN sanction. Additionally, they seek legislation that would allow them to conceal the end user and per unit value on any international transactions - largely a corporate PR issue when the end user is a human rights abuser - it interferes with bidding for DOD contracts; they don't want Uncle Sam to know how cheap they'll sell equipment in bulk to a despot.
