This article says the NRA gets millions from the gun makers.

I believe it too. There's no way they have that much money from memberships.

The article I shared says that one manufacturer buys you an NRA membership if you buy their gun. Another gives 10% of their sales to the NRA. The influence is definitely there even if it's not counted the same on the pie chart.
The chart also lists advertising as a revenue stream but who buys that advertising space? Gun makers.
ETA that plenty of people care about the hearing of gun owners. The solution for that is wearing ear protection. It's helps the gun owner while not endangering the lives of others. I'm sorry I don't see how the trade off is worth it.

It's barely been two days and the 2a crowd is already claiming "false flag". His neighbor says so, so it must be true. They can fuck off with that shit. It's not a false flag when real people die.
Also: clinging to your guns after a massacre is equally as gross as claiming this event is a set up to take away your guns.
