It’s less a function of NRA members’ single issue nature, since their number is really pretty small. it’s more a function of the identity factor affecting non-single-issue Republican voters. The NRA voters can stay unchanged and vote as they like, but if the NRA becomes stanky, and if taking NRA money becomes concerning, the dynamic changes entirely.
For example, I don’t know the numbers, but I would suspect that single-issue anti-gay voters are probably unchanged in number, but homosexuality doesn’t remotely work as a wedge issue for voters anymore.
Apart from the size of the organization and voting patterns of its members, every congresscritter knows that every one of those members owns at least one gun.
