The NRA doesn't make laws. They can only lobby for laws.
They also represent only 5% of the gun owners of this country.
In spite of the media claiming the NRA are extremists and gun owners who are not members claiming they don't do anything, It was the NRA that stopped the gun laws that were happening for the last forty years while the other gun groups were too small to be effective. The Brady Bill is a failure to ALL gun groups and not just the NRA. The Bill was originally a fifteen day waiting period. It was "compromised" to an instant check.
The only way you can judge how well the NRA acts is by reading an article from Fortune magazine that put the NRA as America's top lobbying group.
