There's no specific connection between Dell and Handgun Control, Inc.
It's all aggregated as a referral program where Dell is one merchant
participating in the referral pool, and Handgun Control, Inc is one
organization which can be the source of such a directed referral. Go up
one level, and look at the page http://www.progressivefunds.com/ . It
lists several other referring organizations. This particular referral
pool is being run by progressivefunds.com, so of course the *referring*
organizations reflect those views. That says nothing about the
participating *merchants*.
Basically, the merchants are paying the organization a
commission for business from that organization's members. I can hardly
speak for Dell, but on general principles I'd assume they'd be happy
to give the NRA the same deal if a conservative group wanted to offer
referrals in a similar online mall. See http://www.linkshare.com/
