Yawn.
Since 2005, corporations--gun related and other--have contributed between $19.8 million and $52.6 million to the NRA as detailed in its Ring of Freedom corporate giving program. In a promotional brochure for the program, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre promises that the "National Rifle Association's newly expanded Corporate Partners Program is an opportunity for corporations to partner with the NRA....This program is geared toward your company's corporate interests."
"Corporate Partner Program" is a nice clean way of saying "We take lobbying money"
Isn't it so nice sounding?
You think corporations sponsor groups like the NRA out of the goodness of their heart?

No, corporations protect their interests..it just so happens it's also the 2nd Amendment, and they do it without Fed funding.
Would you like to compare with say another large non-profit.....say Planned Parenthood?
