They abandoned their original charter. They weren't "Guns Rights lobby." They existed to teach people gun Safety, and Security. Basically, they got taken over by paranoiacs, who got into guns in the first place as a Security Blanket. It made them feel safer against teh aliens, commies, government, and/or lizard men. (Eventually, and unironically to defend against the "Terrorists." Until they started shooting up school kids, and changed the narrative to "Guns don't kill people..." What did you buy that gun for, to protect yourself? From what, school children?) Then, they felt Powerful, and then they became Powerful. The NRA went insane. That's what heppened to it, when originally, they just taught new gun owners to treat them as always loaded, and never point it at anyone you don't intend to shoot.
