NRA Cambridge Analytica collaboration out. Who is the NSSF colluding with?

National Shooting Sports Foundation

The data used in the scheme between Cambridge Analytica and the NRA in 2016 didn't go away. It went somewhere else to be used in subsequent years. I guess it's still being used up to this day, year of our lord 2024.

The top advocate for the gun industry in Washington is spending more than ever to influence the federal government. The group accuses President Joe Biden of waging war on the Second Amendment. It resists any effort to create universal background checks and argues that attempts to crack down on untraceable “ghost guns” are unnecessary.

The NSSF, founded more than 60 years ago to promote hunting and recreational shooting, has grown into the country’s largest firearms trade association. The organization spent more than $5.4 million on federal lobbying last year, more than in any other year in its history and more than twice as much as the NRA, according to federal records.


I wonder what Senator Blumenthal's inquiry in Sept 2022 turned up?

Please describe what happened to the database of gun owners CA collected after the
election and the steps that were taken to protect this sensitive information from misuse or
unauthorized disclosure.

Please provide a comprehensive list of all individuals or entities to whom NSSF has
provided information to regarding gunowners’ firearm purchases or warranty
registrations, including any similar engagements to the NSSF-CA engagement, for voter
education, voter registration, or election work after the 2016 election cycle.


Any links between NSSF to dirty Russian actors? Any link between a Maria Butina type and some ugly GOP operative?

What is the NSSF and its leadership doing with the personally identifiable information (PII) of people who legally own guns?
