Unfortunately, I did donate to them before I realized they are only about the money and not our 2A rights.

I was also under the impression that the NRA fought for gun rights until my father (worked in the Florida legislature) told me about the NRA lobbying for gun control during the Bush administration. Since then I've done my own research and found that they have had a hand in most of the anti-2A legislation in the past 40-50 years.
Without some solid proof, that sounds like some tin-foil hat stuff right there. C/H looks like he did some good research there and that would take the other group right out of the running. Lobbyists are necessary, even if some of them are smarmy at times, and I'm glad we have some really good ones working with the NRA.
