Translation:  Congress, not the NRA, controls U.S. participation in 
international firearms treaties.

True or false, none of that is evidence that the NRA
controls gun laws.  And much of it is false, or at least
is unsupported.  For example, the NRA does not represent
weapons manufacturers.  That the views of NRA's members
mesh with the views of firearms makers does not make the
NRA the latter's representatives.  That would be the
National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).

An anti-gun op-ed piece is not evidence.
You claim that lobbying Congress = control of U.S. gun laws.
I do not accept that as a true statement.

No translation is needed, and your doing so is merely twisting what you 
are reading.

This is a demonstration of you understanding you have no honest 
rebuttal. It is emotional for you. Fair enough.

They are closely tied and it is a FACT that the NRA has massive control 
of our gun laws, as I showed. Again, not sure what the value of your 
denial is other than an emotional one.

I am speaking of evidence.

Your failure to accept evidence is not really of value. What you 
challenged me to do was back my views. I did. I gave strong support and 
you have nothing but empty denial as a response.

Fair enough. I held up my burden of proof. That was what was asked of me 
and I did so.

Another easy one. Here are just some examples:

<https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/28/us/nra-donations-spike-parkland-shooting-trnd/index.html> 
OR <https://goo.gl/W8j7KQ>

Donations to the NRA tripled after the Parkland shooting

In the days and weeks following the February 14 shooting at Marjory 
Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the National Rifle 
Association saw a significant spike in donations.

In fact, reports from the Federal Election Commission show donations to 
the NRA's Political Victory Fund tripled from January to February.
In January, the NRA collected almost $248,000 in individual 
contributions. In February, they collected more than $779,000.

It's no secret that interest in guns and gun sales -- as evidenced by 
anecdotes and manufacturing numbers -- have until recently gotten boosts 
from mass shootings. So it would stand to reason that donations to the 
NRA would get a bump as well.

Since the Parkland shooting happened in the middle of the month, one 
could argue the relationship between it and the spike in donations is 
hard to prove.

However, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks 
political spending, tracked itemized contributions (donations of $200 or 
more by an individual) in the days before and after the shooting. 
According to their data, in the two weeks after the shooting, itemized 
contributions to the NRA doubled from the previous two weeks.

They also found the number of people contributing in the seven days 
after the shooting increased almost 500% from the week before.
The Center for Responsive Politics says it's unclear what caused the 
spike, whether it was NRA outreach or President Trump's comments after 
the shooting suggesting he might support tougher regulations on guns.

The NRA’s profit soars as deaths from gun massacres mount

The Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut almost three 
years ago did nothing to restrict access to guns, as the students of 
Umpqua Community College in Oregon learned to their cost yesterday.

But it did a huge amount for the National Rifle Association.

As the rest of America mourns yet another murderous gun spree on campus, 
a review of financial filings shows just how far the mammoth gun 
organization has been able to cash in, big time, on the fallout that 
followed Sandy Hook in December 2012.

Membership dues jumped as supporters rallied to the cause. So did 
profits. And executive pay ran into the millions. Not bad for a charity 
that is exempt from taxes.
...
NRA membership dues skyrocketed by a staggering 62% in the year after 
Sandy Hook, from $108 million to $176 million. Total revenue in 2013 hit 
a third of a billion dollars.

As a result, the massive organization saw profits — excuse me, 
“surpluses” — rocket 2,750% to $57 million.

Of course, that’s before taxes. But, then, it didn’t pay any taxes, for 
it is a nonprofit charity.
-----

Not even the NRA denies these numbers and these trends as far as I know. 
Hard to see why you even needed this one to be defended... I would 
assume it is just common knowledge to anyone who knows about the NRA.

They do tend to argue a lot from emotion... BUT the same is true of many 
on the "other" side. Many want to ban "assault" weapons but have no real 
idea what they even mean by that -- they do not even understand how 
common semi-automatic weapons are.

With that said: I did go to a Moms Demand Action meeting not long ago 
just to see what it was about. Their #1 action item was to have someone 
from the NRA or other person who knows guns well and DISAGREES with them 
to come and explain what many of these terms and items are. They were 
clear they did not want to debate the person, they wanted to learn from 
them. It was great to hear.

On the other side, I used to run the website for Gunsite and talked to 
and worked with those people. They had a focus on gun safety I respect.

I wish the two "sides" would listen to each other more. I think there is 
a lot of overlap in their positions... both "sides" want to keep guns 
out of the hands of those who are likely to be dangerous, both want to 
have been background checks (even if they disagree on details), both 
want better mental health services, etc.

Well, the New England Journal of Medicine showed that in a very well
written study funded by the CDC in 1993 (Gun Ownership as a Risk
Factor for Homicide in the Home).  I think that the NRA understood the
risk of good research because they promptly prohibited the CDC from
funding any further research on guns.

BTW, if you look at the citation indexes, that study is probably the
single most cited study in recent history.

The NRA and their supporters fear knowledge. They fear research. They fear
evidence. 

Really, that right there shows they know their views are based on emotion
and not reason. Heck, look at one pushing the silly idea I “lost”, as
though this is a game or a judged debate. 

They know they have no leg to stand on.

The *NRA* proper really doesn't do much more than break even on their
"donations" or membership fees.  They make very few political
contributions largely because they have a huge overhead.

The real action is over in the ILA.  There, again, they almost never
give money, per se, to politicians because that would have to be
reported and, thus, tracked.  What they do is targeted political
market research.  They don't give money; however, they can make their
phone lists available; they can tell the aspiring senator exactly
where to put the money he does have to its best political use.

I really doubt that you can find out what the ILA's budget is; I'm
sure it's a closely guarded secret.  The NRA's budget is easily
tracked and public because they're nonprofit.  The ILA is a different
kettle of fish; it's only reported if it's a cash contribution and the
ILA doesn't do that.  I would guess that, if the NRA's dues tripled,
it wouldn't amount to a little wart on an elephant when you factor in
the ILA.

I have already shown otherwise. They pay off politicians heavily.

Dunno; I've been on the road for a few days, so I'm a bit under the
power curve.  I turned on the group and there's over 2,500 new
messages most of which make no sense at all.

The NRA has to be pretty transparant with their "donations" because of
what they are... and that's not really my field.  Pint bein' that you
can get their budget through open records.

Point 2: While I certainly believe that the NRA would behave in an
unethical manner, in an immoral manner, and downright disgustingly...
I doubt that they'd do anything blatantly illegal; brown bags of money
changing hands in DC hotel rooms likely happens, but it probably can't
be traced to the NRA.

OK.  Is there a source?  I was under the impression that it was the
ILA that mainly influenced politicians and that they did so by
rendering services.  The NRA would *prefer* not to be tied to
political contributions.

They are HEAVILY tied to political contributions and lobbying and other 
influence:

The National Rifle Association spends more money to influence politics 
than nearly every nonprofit group in the United States—but that’s only 
one-half of its arsenal, gun violence experts told Newsweek in separate 
interviews.

The NRA’s extravagance has earned it a reputation as one of the most 
powerful political organizations in the county. When it comes to 
muzzling politicians on gun control and stymying regulations in 
Congress, the public often credits the group with near-omnipotence. It’s 
an easy argument to make when lawmakers offer “thoughts and prayers” in 
the wake of gun violence but shy away from legislative action. They also 
tend to have a pecuniary interest in protecting the NRA’s aims.
...
“What’s special about the NRA is that it has two sources of its 
influence,” Maguire said. “The first is its very deep pockets. The 
second is its almost unparalleled grass roots support.”
...
The NRA significantly boosted its spending that year, dropping more 
money to get President Donald Trump elected than it did in all federal 
elections in the 2012 cycle combined, the group reported. Trump was the 
beneficiary of over $30 million in NRA spending—$11,438,118 for him and 
$19,756,081 against Hillary Clinton—in the 2016 election.

The NRA’s return-on-investment is formidable. The group had a 73.3 
percent success rate by candidate in 2016—meaning nearly three-quarters 
of the time the NRA spent money for or against a candidate, it got its 
desired outcome. It’s also getting more efficient—its success rate when 
spending money on candidates has trended up since 2008 when it was only 
43.6 percent.

In 2012, gun rights groups outspent gun control groups in federal 
lobbying efforts $6,129,911 to just $250,000, according to data provided 
to Newsweek by the Center for Responsive Politics. On December 14, 2012, 
Adam Lanza walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, 
Connecticut, and killed 20 children and six adults with an AR-15-style 
rifle. The next year, pro-gun groups more than doubled their collective 
lobbying efforts, spending $15,292,052 compared to gun control groups’ 
$2,217,765. Lobbying by both gun rights and gun control groups has 
declined slightly since, but the pro-gun efforts have never dipped below 
seven figures.
-----

As a side note, why do they call it "gun control groups"? Do they call 
groups calling for better safety features in cars or better made roads 
"car control groups"? The term is absurd and biased.

OR <https://goo.gl/AupU1b>

If you add together all of the NRA’s contributions to candidates, 
parties and leadership political action committees between 1998 and 
2016, it comes to more than $13 million, according to calculations from 
the Center for Responsive Politics’ database.

That’s more than three and a half times larger than their direct 
contributions to current members of Congress.

But there’s more.

NRA spends millions more intervening in campaigns and lobbying
The NRA’s biggest chunk of spending on politics came from "outside 
spending," consisting largely of "independent expenditures" — efforts 
"expressly advocating the election or defeat of a clearly identified 
candidate." Often these take the form of campaign ads, but they are 
carried out without coordinating with the candidates they are supporting.

This type of spending vastly outpaces what the NRA spent on giving to 
candidates directly. The NRA spent $144.3 million on outside spending, 
such as independent expenditures, during that period.

In addition, the NRA since 1998 has reported spending a cumulative $45.9 
million on federal lobbying, both for its in-house operations and the 
outside consultants it has retained.

If you add it all up -- candidate and party contributions, independent 
expenditures, and lobbying -- the NRA has spent $203.2 million on 
political activities since 1998.

I'm a little cautious about citing the news media as reliable sources
of information unless they're willing to include a bibliography and
cite their sources.  Now, Newsweek has a pretty good reputation for
vetting the stories; however, all I have is Newsweek's reputation.

I suppose it's better than citing: http://www.nraila.org as many here
will do.  OTOH, if I were a reviewer and found "Newsweek" in the
bibliography, I would challenge the authority of the source unless the
purpose were to establish Newsweek's editorial position on some
matter.

*********************

The NRA proper is listed as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  If
you look up that designation and the restrictions thereon, you will
note that these cannot make political contributions or perform
campaign activities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501(c)(3)_organization
Limitations on political activity
Section 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from supporting
political candidates, as a result of the Johnson Amendment enacted in
1954.[29] Section 501(c)(3) organizations are subject to limits on
lobbying, having a choice between two sets of rules establishing an
upper bound for their lobbying activities. Section 501(c)(3)
organizations risk loss of their tax-exempt status if these rules are
violated.[30][31] An organization that loses its 501(c)(3) status due
to being engaged in political activities cannot subsequently qualify
for 501(c)(4) status.[32]

That said, there are many groups under the penumbra of the NRA that
are *not* 501(c)(3)... the ILA, for example (et. al.)

Also gave you a link from Politifact.

The NRA should lose its non-profit status.

OR <https://goo.gl/EYqxxo>

They do bypass laws to not have the donations be direct -- but the 
impact is the same.
