Blood Money -- How the Gun Industry Bankrolls the NRA

The National Rifle Association says it "is not affiliated with any firearm or ammunition manufacturers or with any businesses that deal in guns and ammunition." Blood Money shows how -- to the contrary of the NRA's self-serving claim -- the gun industry actually bankrolls the NRA. 30,000 Americans die every year from gunshot wounds and many more are injured. The profits from this carnage are ... Blood Money.

I would spend my time typing a well thought out argument against gun control but since you folks at the VPC didn't spend anytime making a argument for gun control in this vid I'll just comment on the vid as it is. Ignorant, emotionaly based, fear mongering, silly, fiction based, leftist propaganda produced by a group that know's nothing about real world violence and even less about Freedom And Liberty.

Where's the source on "30,000"? That's a pretty bold statement since there were only 14,748 homicides in the last published year (2010), and on average (since recorded gov stats), about 65% of murders are actually committed with a firearms. That leaves a rather large percentage of other methods, so after firearms you have a myriad of things to "control". Also, in the last record year there were 650 accidental gun deaths. Far cry from 30,000. Car accidents claimed 43,510.

The NRA gets money from gun companies? That's okay. The NRA represents me and works for me.

Oh sure! God forbid common interest teams up to protect our Constitutional rights.

Our government seems to be doing a pretty lousy job of it.

Thats why it's in the Constitution. For these exact reasons.

I hope gun companies do donate to the NRA and other pro-gun groups!

With all that money I give to them for their products it would definitely be a good thing if some of it went to protecting our constitutional rights.

[rufuguru]

@GunOwnerDan granted this is just an anti-gun slur, but you can't possibly tell me that Rifle companies DON'T donate to the NRA. It's not against the law, but that's like denying the existence of gravity.

This video, while obviously propagandist with its skeletons and grim reapers and crazy creepy laughs, actually does present a few true facts about the gun industry and the nra. A lot of these comments aren't really valid considering the content of the video. It presents the number of gun related deaths per year, then tells us how the gun industry funds the rifle association. I am anti gun/violence myself, but not in general. I think everyone should be able to do what they want.

Wow this video makes me want to go out and buy more guns!!!!! Your lies are incredible, if you want to make a movie about being anti-guns and want people to believe you. Don't lie to them and where are your facts??? Then again if your lying like you do you have no facts!
