Whether you are for or against the NRA, in the key area of public opinion they really are the only name in the pro-gun movement that the public knows. Sure there is the SAF and other organizations, but I can guarantee that 95% of the American public has never heard of any of those other organizations.
Now the anti-gunners have a ton of fragmented non-united groups such as Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Americans for Responsible Solutions, the Brady Campaign and a host of others. Because of this, they can not get one united voice and can't agree. Anti-gunners also can't point to one group like the NRA and say, "This is our group for gun control." The NRA really is the only name in pro-2nd Amendment that the public knows.
Senators and Congressman know that if you cross the 2nd Amendment the NRA will do their best to make sure that their constituents vote them out of office. Because of this fear the 2013 gun control laws were defeated.
Now, if the anti-gunners get together and join forces to make one large anti-gun group rather than many fragmented groups, we could be in trouble.
