Years of NRA tax returns obtained by The Daily Beast show that the gun group’s revenue has been falling for years. And last year was the NRA’s weakest fundraising year since 2008.
20% of gun owners (including me) claim to lean or be Democrats. That’s a fifth of possible customers you’ll never get a penny from. 44% claim to be or lean republican and the remaining 36% didn’t swing either way or didn’t answer. I’m sure a lot of them also have moved on to more inclusive organizations like you’ve said.
Gun safety and ownership shouldn’t be a political thing, but the NRA makes it one every chance it gets. Like, from my understanding, they’ve been quietly uppity on preventing smart guns from being sold in the US for years now for no reason.
Same. I realize the politicians voting against gun rights are almost all Democrats, but the NRA needs to quit being political and stick to the topics instead of demonizing half their potential membership.
Yeah! It’s not surprising.

Shit, or work with the Dems and Republicans to make reasonable gun legislation that everyone can support, for example the gun show loophole IMO.
