That's a very good point about the NRA: it's a single issue organization, all things related to guns. It did, of course, support Citizens United (http://www.cuvfec.com/documents/case-08-205/Supplemental_Question_Amicus_Brief_of_NRA.pdf http://www.cuvfec.com/documents/case-08-205/Supplemental_Que...), since McCain-Feingold presented an existential threat in getting it's word out (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10403936 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10403936 for specific actual examples), but that was just a means to the end of "all things guns". Marksmanship, safety, and of course being allowed to practice the former, which events and a '77 membership revolt forced them into.
We have "no enemies to the Left" or Right, political party, sexual orientation (http://www.pinkpistols.org/ http://www.pinkpistols.org/), you name it, as long as you're not plotting to violently overthrow the government.
