Well obviously, the only thing the NRA has ever cared about is selling guns. They may couch it it reasons like freedom or safety but the real reason has always just been profits.
The Mulford act was passed in 1967, when the NRA was still a nonpartisan organization that promoted gun safety and responsible ownership. In 1977 there was an internal coup that replaced the leadership with a group of second amendment extremists (or gun industry shills) who proceeded to turn the NRA hard to the right.
As I stated, the change was in 1977, and the NRA became a gun industry shill after that. The comment I was replying to said it had “never” been anything but that, when for the first hundred years it was an overall nonpartisan and anodyne organization.

I wish the NRA continued what it used to be.
