Default One-Issue Political Groups - NRA

I'm pro gun rights, and generally support the NRA. But over the years they occasionally back causes that I disagree with. The thing I find ironic about this is that the NRA loves to use the catchphrase that "The Second Amendment is the one that guarantees all the others" yet they have no problem with trampling on other rights in support of gun rights.

I've seen this from them before, but the most recent case I saw yesterday is one in which my state is looking at legislation that take away the right of businesses to prevent people from having weapons on their premises. The NRA, of course, supports such legislation.

The government already tells business owners who they have to hire, who they have to serve, what acts they have to allow and not allow of people on their property, etc. Now, with the help of the NRA, legislators want to further trample property rights.

Given their stance that the second amendment exists to give citizens the ability to protect all their rights, I find this really bizarre.

Thoughts?
