Yep,
Me, "The house is on fire."
Them, " It doesn't affect me so don't call the fire department."
Me, "Yea, ok, be a dumbass and let the fire spread. Eventually it will get to your house."

Most of what I know is publicly available information. How much money they lobby with, for example. How much money they get from gun manufacturers, which is frequently an amount per gun sold, which makes it appear that the manufacturers are mostly paying them to promote gun sales.
I was a member as a teenager and into my early twenties. They were getting a bit crazy, so I dropped my membership and never looked back. I hear about the NRA on pretty much a daily basis, but only from their opponents. It is blindingly obvious that the NRA's fame and power come from those who give it so much publicity.
The NRA thanks you for mentioning the NRA.
That is like arguing, "Don't mention the rapist and they will stop raping."
No sorry, more people need to stand up to that industry and that lobby. Fear does sell, but that does not mean one should not stand up to that marketing. The long term goal is to take away the narrative, and silence isn't going to do that.
