Some background on NRA and their pro-gun rights lobbying

The National Rifle Association is a gun rights organization. The two US Civil War veterans started the organization in 1871 as a recreational association to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis." The NRA's foray into political lobbying began in 1934 when it began sending out letters to members informing them of upcoming weapons legislation. The National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) and the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA) were supported by the organization, but it became more politically engaged after the enactment of the GCA in the 1970s. The National Rifle Association is a right wing terrorist organisation. The US are kept hostage by those terrorists and are unable to protect its citizens of physical harm. Get your shit together!

It began directly influencing policy in 1975 through the Institute for Legislative Action, a newly founded lobbying arm. It established a Political Action Committee (PAC) in 1977 to transfer contributions to MPs. With a large budget to influence members of Congress on gun policy, the NRA has become one of the most powerful special interest lobby groups in the United States. Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice-president, is in charge. Since 2020, prosecutors in New York and Washington, DC, have attempted to dissolve the organization, claiming that senior leadership misappropriated a charity fund and used the money for extravagant personal spending. The organization called the lawsuit a "baseless, planned attack." P.S
