Chapter 1945 The President Weeps
The NRA was founded in 1870 and was originally named ARA, which is the American Rifle Association.
After World War I, it was renamed the 'National Rifle Association'
The NRA, which is now actively involved in politics and has a huge influence.
The NRA's governing body is a large council with 75 directors for a long time.
Everything requires a vote, and two-thirds of the votes represent the resolution passed.
The chairman is elected by members of the 75 race and serves one year.
In fact, the chairman is just a target to push the front desk, and he has the same rights as other members, but his reputation is better.
The one who really holds real power is the vice chairman, but it is called "CEO."
CEO, these words are combined together, I believe everyone has already understood who the real power person is!
The most influential people in the NRA are the Max and the Cochs.
Max Group Corporation mainly involves business including transportation, automobiles and limited media.
It holds the third largest limited television company in the United States and is one of the shareholders of General Motors and Ford.
The Koch family mainly involves oil, trade, pipeline transportation and animal husbandry.
The family's operating philosophy is to never allow outsiders to interfere in the company.
Therefore, until today, all shares of Koch Company are in the hands of its family members.
But the performance of its members is eye-catching, and their family assets continue to rise at a rate of more than 20% per year.
As an arms giant, one of the famous weapons manufacturers in North America.
Li Zitao should have maintained a close and friendly relationship with the NRA.
The truth is, they never had any intersection before today.
The relationship between the NRA and the weapons manufacturers is not so harmonious, they are blind and arrogant, and it is unacceptable.
Unconditional support for the ‘Second Amendment,’ sounds like a good thing for them.
But put it into practice and you will find that it is a total shit.
No weapon manufacturer wants to hear shootings or murders related to their own weapons.
Especially for automatic weapons, the goals of weapons manufacturers and gun controllers are consistent.
They all believe that higher standards should be set for buyers, rather than the current false requirements.
In the past six months, there have been 126 shootings in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Chicago.
In these cases, there were 16 cases using automatic weapons.
The number of innocent deaths caused by 21 has attracted attention and condemnation across the United States.
The stock price of automatic weapons manufacturers used in the case was greatly affected, with a drop of more than 16.6%.
The loss exceeds US$80 million, and the estimated loss will reach 120 million.
These include Vista, Altdo, and Chuntian, which are well-known weapons manufacturing companies in the United States.
They all want to reach a new gun control bill with the government to reduce losses, reduce public attention to cases and crazy accusations against weapons manufacturers.
But the NRA shouted: Holding a gun is the freedom of every citizen, and killing people is not weapons, but killing people is people.
Then he mobilized his own lobbying team to bomb Congress wildly.
And threatened bluntly: "Whoever dares to support gun control is the enemy of the NRA."
"And the enemy will eventually be destroyed by us with gun!"
That's right, NRA is so arrogant.
They even dared to come directly to the door to threaten the current MPs and judges, telling the other party that if they don’t change their attention, there will be big trouble to find them.
Because it not only has money, but also has guns!
Behind him there are more than 4 million loyal members, and these members are also the most important source of income for the NRA.
Their lobbying funds? Management and various expenses? 80% of them are paid by membership fees.
Donations from outside and support from weapons companies are simply insignificant.
This also creates the independence of the NRA, and they do not need to look at anyone's face.
Just unite members? And the votes in their hands.
It is enough to maintain its organization's independence and transcendent status and a strong influence on politics.
Previous life? Li Zitao remembers that Omahei had fought against the NRA.
Bypassing Congress to sign 21 gun control bills.
But after he stepped down, the NRA's powerful lobbying team immediately convinced Congress to abolish Omahei's gun control bill.
The few that have survived and remained, without the support of the core bill, it is useless.
Omahei shed tears during his speech...although there is a performance component.
But even if he was slapped in the face by the NRA like this, Omahei only complained a few times when facing the media, and there was no single sentence targeting the NRA throughout the process.
From this point of view, we can see how powerful the NRA was at that time.
Although the NRA has not grown to this day, it is a terrible scale that makes the president cry but helpless.
But it has become a political capital force that cannot be ignored throughout the United States.
"Actually, Charlie, there's something I should tell you first."
"What?"
Li Zitao suddenly saw a badger, "Aiden... there!"
He pointed softly at the badger under the tree trunk? Li Zitao rubbed his hands and feet and walked forward.
"Shh!"
Pearl made a ban on Jenny, and the two sisters lowered their bodies? Be careful to approach the prey.
"Aiden, it's mine." Seeing his brother lifting his shotgun and aiming, Pearl accelerated his pace.
It was just that the force crossbow in her hand dragged down her speed of movement.
"Okay! See who's more accurate in ejaculation."
Aiden waited for her to stand with him before he raised his gun and aimed again.
"Jenny!"
Jenny put her small pistol into the gun bag, and knelt on the ground quickly, holding the front end of the crossbow with both hands.
“Prepare…release.”
Whoosh (bang)!
Two voices rang out at the same time, and the panicked American badger just raised his head.
The body was taken away by the powerful inertia of the crossbow arrow.
That cute face turned bloody and bloody...
“woh no!”
Pearl looked at the American badger's body that was nailed to the trunk and swinging back and forth, and said with regret: "Aiden, you ruined a hat!"
The fur of the American badger is the top material for making furs, and the Aiden gun ruined its worth.
"Hey, don't be so mean!" Aiden spread his hands and complained.
During the long and boring journey, I finally have time to have some fun. Can you stop being so disappointed?
Hearing the "friendly" exchange between the two, Li Zitao said to Jenny: "Jenny, go and bring the prey back."
The little girl ran to the big tree with the corpse hanging, not afraid at all!
When she was six years old, she had already learned to hunt!
But at that time, my father was taken by my side and watched him and other adults chase their prey.
Little Jenny also dissected the deer's body with her own hands...
She still feels disgusted, but she doesn't resist!
"By the way, what are you just going to tell me, my dear?"
Li Zitao looked at her with a smile and said casually: "This reminds me of the days when I took Xiao Shi and Jin out for hunting."
