Yes the NRA is sometimes politically suspect. I hate to vote the NRA line. Could not do Bush. But this is America and money is all that matters. The golden rule. If you want to keep your guns join the NRA they scare the HELL out of the safety nazi gun grabbers. THEY can't protect you so if you can't always carry a gun isn't it nice that the bad guys think you COULD be ? There are more guns than toasters - more guns than telephones in America and NO legislation is ever going to change that. All gun bans do is take away from those who are honest/stupid enough to turn their guns in. The criminals will always be armed. The states with the strictest gun laws have the highest gun homicide rates.
