The NRA has certainly been a help in getting these laws passed, but the primary effort has been by local gun-rights supporters in each state.
There simply is no way any D.C.-based lobbying group could do what has been done on this issue - push legal reform in every state, constantly, over decades.
It takes real grass roots - not astroturf.
The NRA has clinics as to how to start grass roots organizations.
Our grassroots organization was given matching funds to get started in Oak Park, Illinois during the handgun ban.
When the opposition starts to name any other group other than the NRA, I'll pay attention to those groups.
Thanks for the graphic.
