No one is suggesting that. What I said quite clearly is that the NRA is a SINGLE ISSUE organization.
That doesn't mean it's the only issue that's important, it means that it's the only issue that the NRA tracks.
Again, if other factors are important to you (and no one is saying that they shouldn't be) then you need to get that information elsewhere. You can not get it from the NRA because they only collect and disseminate information based on one factor.
That is not the NRA's fault, it is because that is their only focus and charter. It is as unreasonable to criticize them for being a single issue organization as it is to criticize a hammer because it can't be used as a wrench. It was never intended to be anything but a hammer just as the NRA was never intended to be anything other than a single issue organization focused on firearms.

Think again. Google Mark Brophy. The idea that this complex issue can be dumbed down to a "vote party X and you're always good" is not based in reality.
