The NRA’s backing of a legislative fix of the DC gun ban before the case can be heard by SCOTUS may be related to the NRA’s understanding that a win by pro-2A forces in court would serve to reduce the NRA’s raison d’etre, at least as a political entity.

The NRA’s reluctance may be attributed to knowing the most important Second Amendment ruling was brought by someone who didn’t even own a gun.

No, what the NRA is afraid of is a ruling like "Roe v Wade" where the Supreme Court rules you do not have an individual right to keep and bear arms.

Such a ruling would stand for decades before being challenged again.

Is that what you want?
