Well, most of the info is out there for anyone to research. The NRA has been behind more anti 2A legislation (that passed) than George Soros.
I wasn't quite the "gun guy" I am now when my father told me that, so I didn't care to ask anymore about it. My father just hated lobbyist because it was all about money. I'm not against lobbyist, but against the power that politicians have to grant favors because of lobbyist. We were just debating that point, and he was pointing out that the NRA was lobbying for gun control to scare the people into giving more money during a time when we were complacent (G. W. administration). This is what caused me to look into them once I became so involved in guns years later.
GOA is a good national one, probably the best one to replace the NRA.
