    The NRA only spends about $5 million per year in lobbying... I don't think it's the financial force people think it is. That's a drop in the bucket.

    They are only locked from the outside. You can open it from the inside.

    They are paying Republicans enough to keep them from voting.

    I have the solution. All schools should be held in an abandoned steel plant in Mariupol, Ukraine. Highly defensible.

    Lobbying isn't only way, or even the primary way, that they spend money. What about campaign contributions and PAC money?

    What about outright bribes?

    Index fingers are far too entrenched in this country to ever be successfully regulated. Nearly every American has two!

    Let's quit wasting time on finger control and attack the real problem: the tendons that control the finger.

    Why does there need to be civilian versions of military guns

    True, but can you find any data on how much that is? They have pretty steadily spent the same on lobbying for like 20 years. Is there any quantifiable way to know there is excess spending and that it is a big part of the problem?

    I'm not arguing that they aren't, I'm just curious. They are definitely not an organization I support... But they are pretty tacky...

    Because it would be illegal to sell the military version with select fire fully auto capability.

    The civilian version is modified to meet standard rifle laws. So they are just hunting rifles that look like military rifles.

    Their budget is around $250M per year, if that's what you are asking.
