I'll e-mail you my thought about why "NRA supports NICS"
As to posting the fact sheet that was a response to you asking "When was NICS implemented?" Which I figured was you asking me to do some NICS research.
In response to the question "What is the next step along those lines, what is the goal?":
"What is the next step along those lines, what is the goal?"
While I do not know what the goal is or what it should be. My personal goal would be to at least have Vermont style LTC everywhere and incorporation.
Now here is my "if I were King" response to what the next step would be.
If I were in charge of the NRA Budget, I would first limit mailing to members to be a few to about your state and national legal issues to be aware about. Offer members a discount on membership if they "opt-out" of mailing to be e-mail only. I believe this would cut costs greatly.
Now with my "budget surplus" I would then begin two programs that's goal would be to educate the general public and firearm owners who are not active in politics.
First would be a program through general advertising my thought would be to look at movie theater advertising. You could touch on all sorts of defensive issues and etc. Use images such as Oleg Volk's pictures; show people even talking about how they were able to defend themselves, sporting issues, Eddie eagle, etc.
Second would be to have a program that would help fund a grassroots push for education. Such as having booths at different kinds of expos and county fair; rally's in larger cities, etc. This would be to talk about defensive uses of firearms, training opportunities and politics.
