You love to make accusations, but never have any facts. Name one gun control bill the NRA supported in the last 20 years, or before that? What “compromises” have they made, and when? Give me your very best example of one gun control bill that got passed with their support.

[E Pluribus Bellum]

The NRA supported the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Federal Firearms Act of 1938, and the Gun Control Act of 1968, for starters. Here’s what they had to say about it:

"The NRA supported The National Firearms Act of 1934 which taxes and requires registration of such firearms as machine guns, sawed-off rifles and sawed-off shotguns. … NRA support of Federal gun legislation did not stop with the earlier Dodd bills. It currently backs several Senate and House bills which, through amendment, would put new teeth into the National and Federal Firearms Acts." —American Rifleman, March 1968, P. 22

In 1968 they lobbied the federal government to make the age for handguns 21 and increasing penalties for earlier gun law violations. They supported the Gun Free School Zones Act and Project Exile. They’re all in on bump stock legislation and they also support these new star chambers called “red flag” laws with some minor and unspecified restrictions. The “red flag” laws are the worst gun laws in my lifetime.

So, my question is what laws have they refused to compromise on? If you can find one then I’ll cede the point. To be clear, I’m not anti-NRA and I’m certainly not anti-gun; I’m anti-compromise and I think the NRA does too much compromising.
