Unsurprised. Deal is awful. He’s backing gun rights for now, so I will grant him that, but soon enough he will break on that too.... as soon as his masters in DC tell him to.
Fortunately, the NRA is one of the few entities on “our side” which has deep pockets, power, and a big microphone. The “religious lobby”, if there is such a thing (and there’s not, though the left likes to pretend that there is) has nothing like that, we’re not even a coherent group amongst ourselves on the Protestant side, and the Catholics, which do have deep pockets and a huge microphone, have not been choosing to engage (officially, from the top level-there are plenty of good solid Christian Catholics who do what they can individually and as small but mostly powerless groups), to say the least.
