Gun Control: A Very Powerful But Tiny Group

Over at Arms and the Law, Dave Hardy points to an interesting discovery by Joe Huffman: The Brady Campaign for Gun Control has apparently been reduced to selling their membership lists.  Significantly, it's tiny:
50,581 DONORS/MEMBERS (TOTAL FILE)
40,765 DONORS/MEMBERS (24 MOS)
28,417 DONORS/MEMBERS (12 MOS)

...

So, they have about 50K total "donors/members" on their list. If I'm reading the data correctly only about 28K have donated in the last 12 months.
Of course, it's an important 50K members. I am guessing that it is rich in television journalists, tenured faculty, and other members of the self-imagined intellectual elites.
