You’re right. It’s one more reason why I have lost faith with the Republican party. It’s one thing to lose on some issues, it’s quite another to not get it at all in the first place. And more often than not, the Republicans simply don’t.

You’ve pointed out some instances where these folks have clearly lost touch with reality on Second Amendment issues. And I dropped my NRA membership because of some of this.

They win one once in a blue moon, but they want my money every stage of the moon. Not for their past performance.

The left loves to demonize the NRA, knowing full well the NRA does nothing more times than not. This keeps the NRA as the leading gun advocacy group, when I don’t think they actually are.

That's true. I would not advise any member to stop their membership in one of the more elite firearms hunting associations, but the NRA has sometimes compromised against the Second Amendment. I am saying that members of the should try to correct their elite NRA leadership at such times, before it becomes more like the AARP.

But...

The Emerson Case (background info)

Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA)

...this outfit is for real--not like those prevailing in politics for sensitive, bipartisan constituencies. The thought of denizens of trailer parks and tract house neighborhoods owning weapons does not frighten them so much.

CCRKBA

Yes...little humor intended there...and some criticism. ;-)
