you may be right (I'm not a member). But in the bigger picture, the NRA has aligned itself with those politicians who like to claim what being a "true American" is, which puts them at odds (on an ideological level) with those who don't align themselves that way.
The larger point is that gun ownership/rights shouldn't be such a partisan issue.
