Of course they do.
The #1 thing the NRA relies on is fear. Fear that the government is going to take away your right to have certain weapons, like assault rifles. So, the people drinking the Kool-Aid hurry up and buy more firearms and ammo before that happens (even though it hardly ever happens).
Again, these are people who genuinely believe that an armed populace is a polite populace, and that firearms are the only thing keeping the government from sliding headlong into abject tyranny.
