Once paranoia-based gun sales became a pervasive and profitable, it was my impression that manufacturers and their funding took over the NRA. Although causality may be reversed there.
I would also be curious to see if the left's accusations of foreign funding / interference had any truth.

The gun industry has its own well-funded lobby, the NSSF. They don't really need the NRA.
