The NRA doesn’t pass legislation. Put the blame where it’s due, on do-nothing, self-serving legislators who talked big but did nothing.
No the NRA doesn't pass legislation. But the NRA does speak to & negotiate with the legislators that are tasked with passing legislation. If the NRA says it's willing to accept some infringements on 2A rights, well the Rs will take that as a signal its ok to give in, no one will fight them on it. If the NRA says No this is too far, it will give many of those legislators a spine.
Politicians will always have constituents calling them on both sides of an issue. When they do they'll just turn to the appropriate national organization or lobbyist to see which way the $$ is saying to go. Most don't care about issues, just getting reelected, getting more money, and getting more power.
