I didn't think the NRA gave out member information

When our governing officials dismiss due process as mere semantics, when they exercise powers they don’t have and ignore duties they actually bear, and when we let them get away with it, we have ceased to be our own rulers.

This entire poll is suspect.
Gallup does an annual gun control poll of the general population, and its last results in October, 2011, clearly indicated that gun control is NOT supported by any majority. In fact, just the opposite is happening over time, as people have slowly become more accepting of guns, they are more and more comfortable with the laws that exist. Lots of great info in this link:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/150341/record-low-favor-handgun-ban.aspx
The report is very informative, and consistent with its earlier yearly polls. The trend for gun control advocacy is most definitely down. For example:
The results are based on Gallup's annual Crime poll, conducted Oct. 6-9. This year's poll finds support for a variety of gun-control measures at historical lows, including the ban on handguns, which is Gallup's longest continuing gun-control trend.
For the first time, Gallup finds greater opposition to than support for a ban on semiautomatic guns or assault rifles, 53% to 43%. In the initial asking of this question in 1996, the numbers were nearly reversed, with 57% for and 42% against an assault rifle ban. Congress passed such a ban in 1994, but the law expired when Congress did not act to renew it in 2004. Around the time the law expired, Americans were about evenly divided in their views.
and: Americans' preference regarding gun laws is generally that the government enforce existing laws more strictly and not pass new laws (60%) rather than pass new gun laws in addition to stricter enforcement of existing laws (35%). That has been the public's view since Gallup first asked the question in 2000; the 60% this year who want stricter enforcement but no new laws is tied for the high in the trend

I believe it is a made up report
and not a true report of a poll of NRA members.
Look at the source======"SOURCE Mayors Against Illegal Guns".
Point of order: NN was a Marine and would, therefore, be a General. Admirals are in the Navy. Heave to, trice up, and carry on.
