I'm not a fan of the NRA or their playbook. Its funny that the NRA has gone from an organization that originally worked with the gun control way back in the day to the monstrosity that it is now.

I'm convinced that the road to gun control and controlling the NRA isn't ever going to happen through politics or votes in congress, but in terms of financial hits to the gun industry itself, if business dries up enough, I'm convinced that the NRA will soften as the primary public relations group for gun manufacturers.

If gun manufacturers were hurt enough by declining sales, you can bet that they would go into a full bore public relations effort around "We see your point".

Or I'm just dreaming.
I don't understand how that would play out. You'd think if gun sales were drying up, they would do whatever they could to drum up business by relaxing more and more restrictions. They would probably try to make it legal to have old west duels.
