Chapter 1856 (1/2)

NRA was founded in 1870 and was originally called ARA, the American Rifle Association.

After World War I, it was renamed the National Rifle Association

The NRA, which is now actively involved in politics, has great influence.

The NRA's governing body is a large board of directors with a long history of 75 directors.

Everything needs a vote. Two thirds of the votes represent the resolution.

The chairman of the board of directors is elected by the members from 75 races for a term of one year.

As a matter of fact, the chairman is just a target at the front desk. He has the same rights as other members, but his name is better.

It is the vice president who has real power, but its external name is ”chief executive.”

Chief executive officer, these words are combined together. I believe everyone has already understood who the real power figure is!

The most influential members of the NRA are Max and the Koch family.

Max group company mainly deals with transportation, automobile and limited media.

It owns the third largest television company in the United States and is a shareholder of GM and Ford.

The main industries of the Koch family are oil, trade, pipeline transportation and animal husbandry.

The family's operating philosophy is to never let outsiders interfere in the business.

So, to this day, all shares of Koch are in the hands of its family members.

But the performance of its members is impressive, and its family assets continue to grow at a rate of more than 20% a year.

As an arms giant, one of the famous arms manufacturers in North America.

Li should have maintained a close and friendly relationship with NRA.

The truth is, they have never met before.

The relationship between the NRA and the arms manufacturers is not so harmonious. They are blind and arrogant, which is hard to accept.

Unconditional support for the second amendment sounds good for them.

But if you put it into practice, you'll find it's just a piece of shit.

No weapon manufacturer wants to hear about shootings and murders related to their own weapons.

Automatic weapons, in particular, have the same goals for weapon manufacturers and gun controllers.

They all believe that the threshold of higher standards should be set for buyers, rather than the existing requirements.

In the past six months, 126 shootings have occurred in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Chicago.

In these cases, automatic weapons were used in 16 cases.

The number of innocent deaths was 21, which was concerned and denounced by the United States.

The shares of the manufacturers of automatic weapons used in the case were greatly affected, falling by more than 16.6%.

The loss is more than 80 million US dollars, and the estimated loss will reach 120 million yuan.

Among them, Vesta, Otto, Springfield and other well-known arms manufacturing companies in the United States.

They all want to reach a new gun control bill with the government to reduce losses, reduce public attention to cases and crazy accusations against weapon manufacturers.

But the NRA cries out: holding a gun is every citizen's freedom. It's not weapons that kill, it's people who kill.

Then he launched his own lobbying team to bomb the Congress.

And bluntly threatened: ”Whoever dares to support gun control is the enemy of NRA.”

”And the enemy will be wiped out by us at the muzzle of our gun.”

Yes, the NRA is so arrogant.

They even dare to go to the door directly and threaten the current members and judges, telling them that if they do not change their attention, they will have great trouble finding them.

Because it not only has money and guns!

Behind it are more than four million loyal members, who are also the most important source of income for the NRA.

80% of their lobbying funds, management and expenses are paid by membership dues.

Donations from the outside world and support from arms companies are of no importance at all.
