If this were Twitter, I think I'd be pressed to throw the "it's not my job to educate you!" 

But opensecrets has it all.

2018 lobbying expenditures from the NRA, and all its subsidiaries:
$5,076,000

Same for Comcast:
16,800,000

Let's try.... Altria:
10,260,000

Amazon spent 14,000,000, my own employer a little over a Million, Alphabet 21 million. So if dollars equal influence, your cable company has about 3x more to say than the NRA. 

Now, that's not ALL the progun dollars, the NSSF spends more than the NRA but I think this narrative that the NRA is so powerful because in a key election year they spent half what one tobacco company spent is...not convincing? Not to me, anyway. The NRA is powerful because of Votes, which other lobbies have difficulty bringing in. We will see if that remains.
