Small Percentage

[Miles42]

Percentage wise the NRA membership is very small compared to the number of gun owners. They could double in size and still have only a small percentage of gun owners but as a gun lobby they would weld huge amount of voter influence.

Ok your point is? You don't have to be a member of and organization to have the same interest.

My point is this there is power in numbers. Why do you think MADD is such a powerful lobby. There are plenty of people who agree with their ideas but the numbers of their organization is the reason we have the laws enacted. Sad fact is politicians react to any powerful lobby. If any anti gun lobby comes up with an organization with the numbers of MADD there will be no private ownership of guns.

i'm unsure why any lobbyist have to do with it.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed

we need people to take senators out on man-dates with strippers, booze, and handjobs to uphold this?

Unfortunately yes, until that doesn't work, and then you are looking at some form of civil disobedience, followed by armed insurrection. I for one hope the lobbyist work for at least a while longer.

That's because the NRA doesn't do much. They don't want things to be free. If there was no threat of guns being banned, from what would the NRA get their money from?

Fixed it for you. And the answer is yes. And I will uphold the second amendment.
