Well Earnest . . . . don't you remember May 19, 1986?  Right after the
Hughes machinegun manufacturing ban was attached to the FOPA, NRA _pushed_
for passage with all its might!  When I called up to point out NRA was
supporting a precedent for banning semi-autos, NRA hung the phone up on 
me . . . happened to hundreds of others, too.  I called back late in the
evening, after it passed, & was told by a receptionist that she was the
only one in the office.  All the others were at a champaign party,
celebrating its passage!
Then sure 'nuff, we got a semi-auto rifle ban based on the May 19th
precedent NRA supported, with magazines included.  Thanks NRA . . . .
If that wasn't bad enough, NRA had to immediately try & compromise our
rights away again by backing Jack Brooks over Steve Stockman.  With NRA's
help, Brooks almost won that election, too!
Since 1934 a pattern of compromise has risen from NRA.  Compromise for the
purpose of actively destroying firearms rights.  That destruction has been
proven again most recently with NRA's rinky-dink "opposition" to the Terror
Bill.
This pattern can be identified most clearly when one realizes that the
entire planet is having a modernized version of the Hegelian dialectic
process imposed down upon all the peoples by the forces of One World Gov't
(ie, International Fascism).  To the "Illuminated" Ones, history is a
three-step process of change:  Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis.
Thesis - Crises are invented & grievances created to throw the masses
(useless eaters who can't be trusted with guns) into fear & confusion.  The
people become angry and occasionally hysterical about presently
manufactured conditions.  The Illuminaries set up or co-opt and control
their own opposition.
Antithesis - The engineered opposition becomes the Antithesis.  
Synthesis - A COMPROMISE "solution" is found to the problem.  Thus,
Equilibrium is temporarily achieved based on this clash and conflict of
opposites:  Thesis vs. Antithesis.  This state of Equilibrium becomes the
new Thesis, of course, and this reignites the cycle.  Once again created
opposition is encountered, and so conflict and chaos continue with more
optimal states of Equilibrium progressively achieved.
The Hegelian Dialectic process is presently being used to bring about a
society in which the International State is absolute, ie, all powerful. 
Internationalists have adopted the revolutionary method of Ordo Ab Choro
(Order Out of Chaos) -- the systematic working of 
Thesis vs. Antithesis = Synthesis.  The working of this dialectic process,
this conflict of opposites, is the reason why we continue to suffer loss of
firearms rights as well as all our freedoms, no matter who's in office,
Republicans or Democrats.  All the while, we are being moved toward the
Grand Synthesis in which men will be free and happy because they willingly
and enthusiastically serve their Universal Master, the Superstate.  The
forces of the Thesis and the Antithesis are directed from the same
boardroom.
To summarize the interaction of opposing forces:
Thesis vs. Antithesis = Synthesis (Global Totalitarianism)
Capitalist vs. Communist = International Fascism
Democrats vs. Republicans = New World Order
Anti-gunners vs. NRA = Firearms Confiscation
The pitiful and soulless philosophy of the "Illuminated" would-be Aryans
can be found in Discipleship in the New Age (Vol. II), printed by the Lucis
Trust (formerly Lucifer Publishing):
In neither pain nor joy is liberation found.
In neither dark nor light will the spiritual sun
     appear.
The pair of opposites distract the eyes of men.
Only the single eye directs the steps of the initiate
     upon his way.
For a look at the "single eye" that is not fooled by the conflict of
opposites, take a look at the top of the pyramid on a $1 bill.  Its the
Illuminati's occultic all seeing eye of Horus, put there during the FDR
Administration.  Underneath the pyramid you will see Novus Ordo Seclorum,
which translates to New World Order.
Without boring you anymore, hopefully you can see how NRA's COMPROMISING
strongly promotes the Hegelian dialectic process.  In fact, Americans'
right of private access to current arms absolutely _must_ be COMPROMISED
before there is any possibility of a New World Order, One World Govt, &
International Fascism succeeding.  
America's way of opposing totalitarianism has historically been to
unsheathe your sword & cut a line in the sand, announcing that anyone
crossing it will die!
Real men, Texas men at the Alamo, staked out a section of wall between
fellow defenders on either side on them, & vowed that _no_ enemy would
cross that area while the Texan lived.  Sure, they were all destroyed, but
we won the war!  
For some reason you claim NRA will be destroyed if it doesn't compromise to
the Equilibrium of every engineered clash & conflict of opposites.  If that
be so, then lets get on with it . . . . . & win the war!
"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, 
the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." 
Need I remind you that this means NO COMPROMISE.  It means no 4473's, no
Form 1, 2, 3, or 4.  No dealer licenses.  No dealer Log.  No multiple
handgun sales reports.  No Brady wait.  No carry permit requirements.
This is the Supreme Law of the Land.  Only statutes and case law that are
_pursuant_ to the Constitution (see Art. IV) are allowed to become Supreme
Law.
Now perhaps you can explain how NRA's eagerness to COMPROMISE to the "color
of law" is not in fact active & purposeful destruction of not only the 2nd
Amend, but our Constitution and people as a whole . . . . .
FYI:
"You are a great leader who will bring Order Out of Chaos."
     -- Newt Gingrich's horoscope in US News & World Report
"All of us will ultimately be judged on the effort we have contributed to
building a New World Order."  --  Senator Robert F. Kennedy
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak
evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in
their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness...
     --  II Peter 2:12-13
Perhaps you are correct that if NRA refuses to compromise it _will_ 
collapse . . . . when it's puppetmasters drop its strings!
