There've been plenty of surveys showing NRA members in general are much more supportive of gun control than NRA leadership, which is in league with gun manufacturers

NRA was supported by the gun manufacturers and probably would never have gotten the exposure and encouragement without them.

Same goes for the gun and other related magazines. They get their support from gun manufacturers.

It is all about the money.

I was saying this back in the late 80's when Reagan was in office.
