It is about the money. period. The NRA makes millions off of subscribers and their 2nd Amendment fundraisers that help "defend their rights!"

It makes untold millions upon millions for the gun manufacturers.

Our children's safety is the last fucking thing on their greedy minds. it is the almighty dollar bill.
