There's not only the NRA but also the GOA the gun owners of America, and countless and I mean countless other groups, we have the likes of ceasefire and Maig, mothers against guns, and that's about it...... It is a culture all to its own that I have recently noticed.... As a musician the last thing we ever come into contact with is firearms unless you play in a pit symphony and are doin the 1812 overture and need a cannon...lol.... Or your a Spike Jones tribute band....LOL.... But there has to be some way to not seem or like like the big bad liberal threat to these people...and remember outside of the gun thing there are commonalities... Remove politics guns and religion and you get peace.... The cardinal rules among most musicians is no religion no politics... And everyone gets along fine... Matter of fact the only arguments I remember having in the last 30 years was about who's helping the dru member pack the gear up....
