The NRA represents gun makers more than its hunter constituents

Evidence

Lily Raff McCaulou (2012), a hunter and sportswoman, takes issue with being lumped with the gun-rights lobby. She argues that the NRA shows little interest in hunting. … Rather, its major focus is on opposition to the control of militarized rifles, large-capacity ammunition clips, and buyer background checks. This agenda mainly serves the interests of gun makers. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1226
