You're citing an article from Cracked, which cites VPC? That's not exactly an unbiased source. According to one of the VPC "facts", firearms manufacturers gave $38 million to the NRA from 2005 to whenever the study was done.

Sounds like a lot of money. It is a lot of money. But if the NRA has 4 millions members paying $30 a year, that's $120 million just in dues, EACH YEAR. $38 million is a lot of money, but individuals probably contributed half a billion over that same time frame.
