I think there is a sign bit inverted here - the NRA would be in the position of opposing "gun prohibition". Volstead-Act style prohibition of guns would result in gunrunning, which is arguably the nastiest form of organized crime. I am sure that propaganda tropes would be highly common between the Wayne Wheeler continuum and the NRA - there are not that many forms of propaganda.
