NRA insiders and longtime observers describe an organization at war with itself over a central question: Has it strayed too far from its original mission of gun safety and outdoor shooting sports and become too political? [More]You tell me, Lisa Marie Pane of the Associated Press. Here are the Purposes and Objectives from page one of the Association Bylaws:
No mention of that, eh? How do you fulfill duty #1 by abdicating political and legal actions?
It's almost like this is a hit piece masquerading as news to advance the meme that gun owners need to be more Fudd-like, just as Republicans must become more "moderate."
Back that turnip truck up so I can climb back on and fall off proper this time.

Did they mean straying from 2A lobbying, or all political lobbying? I read that the issue is non-2A politicking that's the issue, but I really don't know...
That's not the meme being parroted. Google the words: NRA return to its roots. "Progressives" want them to get out of politics and focus on being Fudds. If anything, and a recurring theme here, is that NRA uses the "single issue" excuse to avoid talking about the greatest political threat gun owners face: "pathway to citizenship" immigration, which results in a 70% Democrat advantage.
The original mission was to train warriors to effectively shoot in a war.
Responding to Jeff's post just above:
this is a shamless plug for an all volunteer nationwide organisation that is quietly and very efficiently DOING EXACTLY THAT, and adding the history of the days when the conflict that kicked the Tyrant King George Three and his minions off this territory, with special attention to the part possession of and skill at arms held in that accomplishment.
Go and take a look at the Appleseed organisation, appleseed info no space dot org.
