The NRA grades based on the number of graded votes per session. If you vote 100% with the NRA, you get an "A". If you vote 100% with the NRA and sponsor NRA-supported legislation, you get an "A+". Just like the stock market though, past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. Neither NRA or GOA have a crystal ball to know the future (GOA A+ Senator Tom Coburn worked with Chucky Schumer on background checks and proposed his own, even wider set of UBCs in 2013.).
If you feel GOA grades are more representative, I'm sure we'd all love to know what they are.
