The idea that NRA spending is why we have the gun laws we do doesn't fit the facts.
The NRA spent $54 million on political spending in 2016.

If this was all that mattered, blame goes to Mike Bloomberg for not spending $55 million.
In previous cycles, their spending was less than organizations like the Service Employees International Union, or the Chamber of Commerce.

The money the NRA spends isn't that important. It's more about motivating voters concerned about gun rights.
