no secret of his disdain for the NRA and accuses them of extremism

I find it a little worrisome that a seemingly pro-RKBA person would view the NRA defending a constitutional right as a form of extremism......but I have another question:
Putting aside for a moment whether someone regards themselves as a D, R, or I.....I am very intrigued at how some otherwise very pro-RKBA people have also stated their dislike of the NRA.
Even if very pro-2nd people find fault in the NRA, it cannot be denied that of the pro-2nd organizations out there, the NRA is by far the largest. So....I'm very curious to know if by writing very pro-RKBA, yet distancing oneself from the NRA, if this is an attempt to give some kind of legitimacy to their argument, by tapping into perceived popular sentiment.
Perhaps it is just me, but I do find it a bit contradictory, if not counterproductive. Am I to believe, that a sizable number of gun owners view the NRA is the same vein that animal rights groups view PETA and ALF as sharing the same goals but being unacceptably extreme in their methods from their standpoint?
Am I missing something, or looking too hard at it? I'm a bit confused.
