to not take ANY money from manufacturers. They didn't lobby, and when they 1st started lobbying it wasn't that radical side lobby they have now. It was just basic gun stuff. The whole guns don't kill people, people kill people started out as their gun safety mantra for training. It was to teach their members that the only way a gun could hurt something is by purpose or by carelessness. The idea that they twisted that makes me sick. That's why so many have fallen under their spell. They hijacked a mainstream org that was around for 150 yrs. alot of their members still have no idea where the money comes from or what they're lobbying for.
