Certain television celebrities who posed as conservatives and lost in primaries are no longer influencing the NRA. As for LaPierre, he's not like those fake conservatives.
From Wikipedia:

In the wake of the the Oklahoma City bombing, LaPierre wrote a fundraising letter describing federal agents as "jack-booted government thugs" who wear "Nazi bucket helmets and black storm trooper uniforms." Former president George H. W. Bush was so outraged by the letter that he resigned his NRA Life membership.[2]

I was referring to the NRA which has supported all major gun control laws in the last 90 years.

They do some good stuff but have a serious case of bi-polar at times.
