Not completely true, but mostly they are an educational group. But so is the SAF, it's the associated CCRKBA that is the lobbying group. SAF also supports gunowners in court, thus their support for Heller. Which case BTW, the NRA originally opposed.
NRA has been big in lobbying. But not so good in really pushing the RKBA in the Courts. SAF has been better in that area.
NRA, SAF, GOA, and JPFO all filed amicus briefs in Heller.

The NRA is not a lobby organization;
the NRA-ILA is the lobby organization. Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the “lobbying” arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is committed to preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The goa filed a amicus brief but was the only group to ask for a narrow view of the Second Amendment. Gee, thanks for nothing, goa. Now we have to file 20,000 lawsuits to get rid of 20,000 gun laws.
Even small groups like the Second Amendment Sister have more brains than that.
The goa is nothing more than a t-shirt company.
