A nice sentiment-- but the NRA was formed in 1871 and was led after its founding by former Civil War General Ambrose Burnside.
Burnside was known to lament the poor quality of union troops. Compared to their southern counterparts, who outshot them 1000 rounds to 1, according to Union records and estimates. What does that mean? It means for every Confederate hit, the Union popped off 1000 shots, 999 that didn't hit shit.
In the post war years, Marksmanship was treated more like a sport, with American and British and Irish national teams and others competing against each other in various places. The NRA was involved in sponsoring and fielding these teams, and studying and observing rifleman and militia training in other nations.
According to Cuckpedia, the first national legislation aimed at gun control as we know it came in 1938. Just as an offhand guess from me as a student of this shit, it was probably the result of yellow journalism driven headlines about prohibition-related gangster lawlessness in the streets of Chicago and other cities as organized crime occasionally fought over territory.
How much gun control has been performed since the NRA was formed?
If you don't count the Brits taking gunpowder from colonists, all of it.
