Two years ago, Richards quit after concluding that the N.R.A. had become "more about lobbying for extremes than the mainstream people who just want to go hunting." A large number of those mainstream folks are now ex-members. Currently, four of every 10 members drop out when it comes time to renew their $35 annual membership.
