The NRA created November 17, 1871, New York City, NY. by William Conant Church and George Wood Wingate.
There are more than 14 million Americans consider themselves NRA members, above the real membership number of 5 million. This may be attributed to the fact that the NRA has millions more of Americans who support them and will tell pollsters they are members, even when they are not.

Unfortunately, too many Christians and pro-lifers are supporters of this organization that deals with the products of death.

• The NRA is now among the most powerful special interest lobby groups in the US, with a substantial budget to influence members of Congress on gun policy. It is run by executive vice president Wayne LaPierre.

• One-third of adults report owning a gun, there are more than 75 million gun owners in the United States. That puts NRA members at less than 10 percent of all gun owners.) NRA membership is uncommon among Democrats, with just 8 percent saying they belong to the group.

There are by various estimates anywhere from 270 million to 310 million guns in the United States — close to one firearm for every man, woman, and child. But in point of fact, only a minority of Americans own guns.

See my past posts on the "NRA dirty hands and money". More of the same. There is change, but the game remains the same. CM
