The number I read was closer to 50 million gun owners (gun owners not guns). But in any case, the NRA represents less than 10% of the gun owners in this country. That is something worth considering.

I have been an active gun owner for over 30 years and I have never been, nor want to be, a NRA member.

The NRA is a powerful lobby only because politicians think they are powerful. But that could be said about pretty much any lobby.
