They are not an advocate of manufacturers per se. They do advocate for the rights of gun owners, which includes being able to buy and sell them, so in that regard, they defend the rights of citizens to own and bear arms and sell and buy them.
The NRA does not sell guns, which was the question.
The NRA does NOT sell guns. I cannot make it any clearer for you.Who are the all donors? Members some, but are you asserting that there is no corporate donations?
It's widely reported they get tens of millions directly from the gun industry, they directly lobby lawmakers on behalf of industry interests, and they serve as the industry PR response firm during mass shootings.
Look who sponsors NRA TV. Gun makers.
Saying they are just a citizen member organization is just a front
Trump proves who’s really scared of the NRA with his late Sunday release of their gun bill.

Yeah, I deny it.
The NRA doesn't create gun enthusiasts; it's gun enthusiasts who create the NRA and like organizations. There are a number of other pro 2nd amendment orgs around. If there weren't an NRA, it would be one of the other ones you people would complain about.
I tend to think you all overstate the importance of the NRA.

To the OP's question: Seems silly to consider the NRA a terrorist organization. It promotes a civil right, a part of the US Constitution and does so through lobbying and education. Lobbying is not a terrorist-type activity.

You know I'm right.
Vegas Shooter, Florida School Shooter, Connecticut School Shooter.. and fox news/ NRA defending what happened as the price of freedom.
What I know is that you've taken a foolish position and aren't man enough to admit it was nothing but hyperbole.
The thing is, I actually understand where you're coming from. I'm pretty sick of watching children get shot down myself
The NRA promotes gun sales of weapons design to kill lots of people fast, we cannot make it any clearer for you.
"Weapons designed to kill" also used every day in home/business/personal defense.
Without a gun, a large strong man has an advantage against a small woman. And if the man is also a criminal who doesn't mind breaking the law and obtaining an illegal weapon, while the woman is _not_ a criminal and _is not_ willing to break the law to obtain a self-defense weapon, then chance is even more seriously stacked against the weak.
So you want to declare Civil War. Did I hear you correctly? Step back and think what the NRA is, the pervasiveness of the ideology, the CORE issue of "guns stop guns", and that half the country is vulnerable to feeling attacked by such a notion of yours.
As for your question. I assume that's a task for the Department of Justice? So I'm assuming there's some legal requirements involved.
I'm pretty sick at Chicago and Philly each having more than one murder per day on average, nothing being done to fix it, and it is not even in the news.

The US govt is the largest arms dealer in the world. If you want to stop gun deaths call your congressman and dont vote for warmongers.
can you name 1 group that does not get corporate donations?
I'm talking about assault style weapons.
Interesting choice of phrase. Not "assault weapons", but "assault style weapons". Of course, I know why. Because actual assault weapons, meaning weapons which have automatic fire mode, are already heavily regulated: ordinary civilian can't buy one.
What is assault "style" weapons? Weapons which "look military"?

Both of those can take a 50 round magazine. My semi-auto .22 has a tubular magazine and carries 18 rounds.Do those two weigh the same? Call it being pedantic if you want, but there would be more than one difference...and that's actually pretty significant. Lighter weight means you theoretically enlarge access to that weapon: more people can use it effectively. It allows for less fatigue during your murder spree, and thus you can rack up a higher kill count compared to your counterpart that is tired out by lugging around that wooden stock.
....It also becomes theoretically more attractive, due to the very real gun fetishizing that is lionized by the NRA, and adopted by speculative "I am from the internet and am a wiz at Call of Duty" angry kids that realize that they can get their very same loadouts from their favorite games and look just as cool when murdering in real life as they do in their video games.
I'm not sure if such data exists (obviously the patriots at the NRA wouldn't allow such freedom-hating communist data-gathering to occur), but marketing works. If it didn't, it wouldn't exist.
I do wonder what kind of impact "Styling" of these weapons has on the attractiveness of choosing this route of revenge for the young and angry? Yes, a lot of this design is certainly functional...but then if it really was more of a functional thing with the different styling, then your image up there would have many more problems to address in its "point," right? Or it's just no biggie? If the only difference is "looks," then why bother designing and making the second one?
