The NRA-ILA (institute of legislative action) is the political strong arm. They do their own fund raising, usually through raffles and lots of mail begging and pleading for help beating the latest threat. I'm not sure what membership dues go toward... Probably everything from promoting gun safety and hunter safety classes to sponsoring ranges and events (and of course paying the staff's pay checks).
