The NRA’s political endorsement rubric maximizes party affiliation of a candidate and minimizes personal 2a credentials; abandoning their influence of legislation in blue states, home of half the country’s population, they make themselves redundant.
Big diff between “members” and DUES PAYING members. I’m a life member from 20yrs ago; I haven’t sent NRA a dime in over a decade. The paying members # is what matters to NRA’s operations, and it’s MUCH smaller than 3.8m

That's certainly a possibility. His manifesto does claim everything was easy to do. So, printing the frame of the gun may well be part of the message.
