Yep, money, the NRA is bankrolled by the gun manufacturers, in a country where there are 300 million guns, all of which started off costing $200 or more that is a huge industry, they also represent a very ardent single issue voting group, so that 1% can be turned out very effectively in the state primaries and will pick candidates solely on their gun record, unlike any other group, even abortion.
