Yet another poll shows that the NRA does NOT represent gun owners.

1. NRA is one of the best examples of how CU is utterly distorting & destroying democracy

In addition to its huge gifts from the Armaments industry, the NRA gets a lot of it's Buy-A-Candidate war-chest from its gun-owning dues-paying membership, and these funds then get used to intimidate & defeat any politician who challenges their insanity and/or to reward "friendly" lawmakers who do their bidding; all of which is why we can't get sane gun-control passed.

So even though most gun owners want better controls on guns, we don't get them because CU allows politicians to be BOUGHT & SOLD like pawns on a chess board. Multiply this times all the crucial issues (enviro, labor, income inequality, corporatist 'trade deals', et. al) and it pains a grim picture of our chances of ever having any kind of real democracy anymore -- not until after Citizens United is abolished.
