I see a lot of common ground and overlap between the NRA and the Religious Right: both are composed of cynical manipulators and gullible masses.

For the RR, it is pulpit pimps taking advantage of people who insist on a subjective, selective and literal interpretation of Scriptures, for the NRA it is weapon merchants and lobbyists who take advantage of people who insist on a subjective, selective and literal interpretation of the 2A.

They have had the upper hand in public discourse by appealing to “American values”. We are seeing that influence erode in the light of recent events, and I can only welcome the changes.
