Now I'm not an NRA basher, in fact I'm a life member, BUT the SAF has been leading the charge and the NRA has been following - Heller, McDonald, etc...

Good for NRA and SAF!
Folks bash the NRA because they perceive another org leading the charge in a battle.

Stepping in to assist as needed like the recent Colorado recalls.
Money is tight and organizations are mostly funded by member donations.
If another org throws their wallet into the fight, NRA spends elsewhere.
