I believe the split in gun owners that hurts the most are the left fringe gun owners that like to hunt maybe sporting clays, yet think the NRA is a radical extremist group and no one needs more than 7 rounds, semi autos should be banned along with handguns.
I think if you're a mainstream gun owner(those aligned with most pro gun organization) and support pro gun organizations, you are part of the team.
I'm not sure carrying a Ak into a 7-11 will ever be mainstream.
