My comment on the yahoo article:
“Who is the NRA?
“4.5 million people. A quarter-million more than the population of Phoenix.
“Nine times the membership of the ACLU. Just sayin’.
“Sourced from Wikipedia. Yahoo does not permit URLs to be cited.”
4.5 million people. A quarter-million more than the population of Phoenix.
Actually, that official membership number is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more additional millions (perhaps tens of millions) of people who agree with the NRA's goals and objectives without formally being members of the NRA.
