I have been an active gun owner for over 30 years and I have never been, nor want to be, a NRA member.
The NRA is a powerful lobby only because politicians think they are powerful. But that could be said about pretty much any lobby.

No one really knows for sure, but most studies believe about 50% household in the US own guns. Many reports state they're about 300 million guns in the US, but in reality it's probably triple that.
The NRA is a powerful lobby, but the real power is all the gun owners. Politicians don't just think they're powerful, they are.
