NRA, GOA, JPFO are all good organizations, and like you, I have contributed to all and still do. We face many threats on many fronts in the never-ending battle to preserve our liberties. It's good to have a variety of organizations in the fight, with their different approaches, strengths and weaknesses. Warts and all, the NRA is the 1200-lb gorilla. As for being "the loyal opposition", who's saying that, besides the folks at the GOA?
All this worthless infighting only strengthens and emboldens the enemy.
And you quoted an article that was two years old. If they are the 1200lb gorilla then I would expect them to do something in two years. Personally, I consider the current NRA to be the RINOs of the gun lobby. Perhaps with better leadership they would be a more formidable lobbying organization. Remember the days when “My president is Charlton Heston”?

That’s the NRA of old.
Anyway, agreed on the infighting. There’s too much of that ongoing here. Circular firing squad. Between EVs and Ukraine, this place is often a charlie foxtrot. A lot of us (including myself) are full of piss and vinegar and looking for somewhere to blow off steam. I’m seeing that ongoing throughout society.
