I'm a gun-owner, a Democrat and a person who can't stand the NRA. I think the NRA's actual influence is overblown and that they aren't the all-powerful boogeyman that folks think they are, but getting gun-owning Democrats (about 1/3 of Dems are gun-owners) to join the NRA and use that influence to redirect the NRA's influence is an interesting thought.
