You're going to have to remember that when some of those laws were written, the NRA had something like 300,000 members and had little influence in government.
When clinton blamed the NRA for the congressional and senatorial defeats, the political landscape changed. Now, we have the muscle to go on the offense which is what happened today. The whole map of the US is changing.
If you want the NRA to disappear, you better think about that for a minute. The NRA was neutral in the Georgia trigger lock Bill and the GOA was upset because they weren't there. The NRA may not give money to Ron Paul because of the Gun Company lawsuit protection and the GOA is upset because the NRA isn't there to throw money at him.
Be careful what you wish for.

I looked over the article and I don't see where the GOA was upset that the NRA wasn't supporting Paul.
