I found this Texas Gun Rights an interesting read as it goes way back when to 1930s and one of the initial compromises that led to the National Firearms Act of 1934. So besides their current financial troubles in court NRA doesn't have much to brag about on the political front to protect 2A.
Overall, the NRA has positioned itself as the most renowned gun lobby in the US. However, its track record mostly demonstrates its penchant for trying to occupy the national spotlight as opposed to passing clean pro-gun legislation and legitimately rolling back gun control. Grassroots gun rights activists have increasingly referred to the NRA’s acronym of standing for “Negotiating Rights Away,” rather than National Rifle Association.
