I've seen someone making similar statements before:

Weep for the future.
"the industry is dominated by manufacturers, distributors and retailers who profit so handsomely from high-volume sales to traffickers that they will fight any serious effort to curtail them."So the industry that is dying, is also making 'handsome profits' by selling to traffickers? Apparently traffickers must be responsible for the 10million + NICS transactions last year. But the stupidity doesn't stop there:

Given that "Fast and Furious" has come under fire because ATF may have allowed guns to "walk" into MexicoWow. talk about apologetics. 'May' have allowed? Seriously? That's the angle they're going to stick w/ even after the ATF has admitted to allowing it to happen, just not who in their agency to blame?
Combined, sources such as fundraising, sales, advertising and royalties produced about $115 million in 2010, just over half the NRA’s $227.8 million in income, according to the group’s tax return. Most of the rest, about $100.5 million, came from membership dues. Other sources included program fees, sales of assets, investment income and subscriptions.Now why wouldn't they put that part in there for their ADHD audience? Oh right, because that doesn't fit the narrative of the NRA being a front for the evil firearms industry (which they also claim is dying even though they're able to donate millions, makes sense, right? )
The study found no Tiahrt amendment-related increase in the number of guns sold by all other gun dealers that were diverted to criminals.The 'study' only referred to one dealer, a favorite of the anti's, Badger Guns.
In 1993, Senator Moynihan proposed that the Federal government tax ammunition, with a 10,000 percent tax on the deadliest projectiles. The gun lobby called his proposal laughable, and it went nowhere, but it is an idea worth revisiting. Instead of taxing ammunition, we might consider a more market-driven alternative: charging the ammunition industry for the costs incurred when their products are used to kill or maim people.Isn't that ingenious? Let's take an idea that went nowhere at a time when gun control influence was at its peak and then make it even less likely to get any support.
