The iron law of bureaucracy. The NRA doesn’t want a clear cut victory. Most of the pro gun legal actions have been done by libertarians. If the trend continues there won’t be much need for the NRA. The NRA has a vested interest in no victory. They live off the constant struggle.

I agree, like media entertainers and talking heads.

I remember a time when the NRA could concentrate on the shooting sports, education, product development and all the “fun” things. I thank God they have taken up the fight against government “gun control”. Remember the operative word is not “gun”, it is “control”.

The better explanation is that like all large, established organizations, caution rules the NRA. They are run by careerists and their goals are usually defensive and incremental. The NRA therefore tilts toward the status quo. This is not necessarily bad as it assures someone will be around to carry on the effort if and when gun rights visionaries and risk takers fail, as they often do.

That is not actually the case...

The NRA has won many victories to include the current one where the House and Senate are loath to speak about Gun Control.

Nothing irrelevant about the NRA..

BTW nothing wrong with the NRA sitting back when a Senator or Conressmen says “those Gunners are crazy”. A smile and a look saying.. “well you would not listen to us” is very effective.
