I'm not certain making a law that will benefit the insurance industry racket is really a good idea. Sorry, but I don't want any bones thrown to those thieving scumbags.
It doesn't have to be "industry", it could be a non-profit co-op running it but I can already hear screams of "socialism" if something like that is suggested.
AFAIK the NRA is "non-profit" too. Since they are the ones most devoted to the cause, are they the ones who aregoing to be running this mandated co-op? Furthermore, just because a group is non-profit doesn't make it immune from corruption. I really think a government mandated "non-profit" co-op would be ripe pickings for someone "benefactors" to line their pockets.
Isnt the NRA basically the right hand of the gun industry?
Not sure if you can call it non profit or unbiased
I actually did some analysis into where they are getting their funding from, and most of the money really does come from individual contributions. I'd have to dig through some of my old reports to see if I can find the source on that again, but it's at least 70 percent of their funding comes from individual contributions, events, etc.
The gun lobby isn't as big a part of the NRA as some people would like to think.
The NRA really has such a small amount of money compared to other lobbies, they're just a very powerful group that has a sway over public opinion. With that, they don't need money in order to be effective -- which is crazy to think about.
