I don't disagree with you, but let me offer an alternate viewpoint on the broader picture.

The NRA has become, for better or worse, the media's lightning rod for the media on gun rights. Could the SAF accomplish what they have the last 15-20 years if they had to be the media's lightning rod instead?

I have had some thoughts that even though the NRA is no longer the organization I want, it's name-awareness serves a purpose. I hadn't thought of it serving another purpose by "drawing the fire" so to speak.

It will be interesting to see how things shake out as the NRA falls by the wayside. Unfortunately it's hard to remove the threat to the things I value from the situation, so I can't look at it passively.
