TBM900, the reason I say the NRA is the only pro-2A organization that understands that is because they are the only ones teaching gun safety, range safety, and promoting places where people who want to shoot can.
It doesn’t matter how much the John Wick video resonates with the current culture if there is no place to go shoot or nothing to shoot with. Even states that think the NRA is the devil incarnate rely on the NRA for safety advice. After the Supreme Court ruling in McDonald, the city of Chicago refused to let any gun range operate anywhere in the city. So you had the right to own a gun in the city; but no place to legally shoot it without leaving the city.
While several pro-2A groups helped with litigating that problem, there was only one that had the existing infrastructure and knowledge base to actually build a safe range within the Chicago city limits that would survive the intense scrutiny IF the litigation was successful
