I would have responded that way no matter which lobbying group it was if a politician matter-of-fact-ly said they were going to be given that much involvement in policy creation when the majority of Americans disagree with be aims of that group.

The NRA is the most visible gun rights advocacy group and often has poor messaging in the wake of tragedies, opening themselves up to criticism
