Big muscle and big brand recognition and lots of money does not provide proportional influence at crunch time i.e. current presidential candidates and Howard Dean last time. Sometimes thunder is a negative polarizing influence.
The National Firearms Association has played a significant role in Canada. It has the minority Conservative federal government on side to get rid of the long-gun registry. Its politically astute messages are gaining support.
I don't know any NFA member who thinks job-done is sending a cheque. Missionary work is the same as any other proseltyzing: being trustworthy with a reasoned and balanced message, something others may believe in.
