Its a bit like attacking the AA or RAC for defending peoples right to own a car.

People attack the NRA because they actively opposing meaningful legislation on guns. If you set yourself up as the opposition then people will oppose you in turn.
It doesn't help how aggressive the NRA are either. The AA will oppose fuel duty raises and the like but they think drivers who've had licences revoked should have them reinstated. The idea to arm teaches has been a pet project of the NRA for years purely because more it further embeds the concept of gun ownership as a means of protection against other guns.
