There is a fundamental difference between the anti-gun organizations and the NRA.

Pareto's Law: Over 80% of the anti-gun lobby money comes from fewer than 20% of its membership. I'd personally estimate the split to be closer to 98% to 2% with the likes of Soros and Bloomberg funding their own disillusioned image of "gun control."

With the NRA, 80% or more of its funding comes from individual members, like you and me.
Join the NRA or upgrade your membership today. Support the Texas Firearms Coalition and subscribe to the Podcast.
I’ve contacted my State Rep, Gary Elkins, about co-sponsoring HB560. Have you contacted your Rep?

That is a huge and critical difference.

If the views of Bloomberg, Soros, etc. were half as popular as they tell us they are, their organizations would have members and member money. It's telling that they don't.
