is the fact that there are 2 separate and distinct aspects of the NRA.

There is the NRA and the NRA-IL.

The NRA is the gun safety arm and overarching organization. The NRA-IL is the "Democrats are coming for your guns" arm.

The overarching NRA is getting fed up with LaPierre's doom and gloom ranting and have realized that LaPierre is the reason that the NRA is hemorrhaging members (he is the reason that I left and was vocal about it when I resigned my membership).
