Organization with primary interest in advancing freedom, Constitution, and patriotism
Poll: NRA is largely a
Poll about how people view the NRA
Re: Poll: NRA is largely a
I believe they believe in what they are doing is right and important and while they are being just and standing up for the little guns rights, they are being funded by gun manufacturers.

I think the rank and file members believe they're supporting an organization with the interest of freedom/constitution/patriotism but that higher ups are more closely tied with gun manufacturers than the average members knows or wants to believe.
Re: Poll: NRA is largely a
what compels people to create binary polls like this? it can only de-illuminate. i am not a fan of the NRA at all, but there is obviously more than one motive fueling it. certainly the interests of gun manufacturers are served. but it's absurd to think a huge contingent are not also people who simply like guns and don't want them taken away. many have even convinced themselves that guns sit right alongside food water and shelter as essential fundamental human necessities.

Neither option is accurate.
Re: Poll: NRA is largely a
Both are part of what they do, but not all that they do. If I had to pick I would say mostly option B. If gun manufacturers were non-profit, the NRA would still be doing its thing.

I view it as I view the ACLU.
Too black and white.

The more rights we give up...the less we have a say on.
The options are too limited and I agree with KB and a few others responses thus far. If forced to say, I would go with the second option.
Thanks for the sig LCSF

Bad poll. Not enough choices. If you want a specific answer than just come out and state it.

I think the poll is fine.
Are they profit driven primarily or rights driven? Seems simple enough.

I get the impression the second option is more of a sardonic jab than anything else so I'd have to say neither option is suitable. The NRA's membership seems to be mostly pleased by the actions of the association and, depending on who you believe, number in the millions. It's hard to see membership like that and still see the organization as little more than a puppet for gun manufacturers. A satisfied membership however does not indicate that the group advances patriotism and freedom.
Re: Poll: NRA is largely a
Truth is most of the gun manufactures hate the NRA.
A bad plan well executed may work. A good plan badly executed will always fail.
Re: Poll: NRA is largely a
The NRA is just like any other special interest group. Their money buys way too much.
