The NRA, as would be expected, endorsed Stewart Mills ( they very rarely endorse Democrats). But, most likely, it isn't purely politics. Most likely, it is also about profits. The NRA, despite its claim as a "grass roots group of gun-owners" is a largely a political front for the industry itself.
So, why the endorsement, despite Rep. Rick Nolan being a minority member who hunts?
Money. Profits.
Remember, Mill's family business sells firearms and accessories. Mills, with his family's profits derived from the sales, would be both a servant for the industry and profiting from it. Or, one could say, both puppet and part-time puppeteer, depending on the vote.
He could wear contributors patches like a Nascar Driver with sponsor's patches festooned across his body, and as he stands on the podium, acknowledge them... "I would like to thank the Koch Brothers, the Gun Industry, Hubbard Broadcasting and all my family members for their contributions."
A true millionaire man of the people, I am sure he would represent them well.
