 For lots of members of the gun culture, the NRA is seen as a milquetoast organization devoted to serving the interests of Elmer Fudd-types, rather than an advocacy group for modern gun owners, most of which don't hunt, and own guns specifically for defense. The running joke among them is that NRA stands for "Negotiate Rights Away", since that's essentially what the NRAs unending capitulation to gun control groups has aaccomplished. As a result, other groups like GOA, SAF, and JPFO have sprung up, and pulled away hundreds of thousands of members by taking a harder line against compromise with gun banners than does the NRA. 
 
 When this infighting is over, whoever is left on top will be working very hard to get those members who have walked away, back. 
		
 
 What gun rights have been negotiated away?
