I am not taking sides in this. I just hope infighting within the republican party doesn't cause us to end up with another Clinton as president.
That article reads like nothing more than a lie-filled hit piece.

For instance:
In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass-murder in 2012, the GOA said its rival was hiding from the media: “Whenever there’s a tragedy, they go into possum mode,” chief counsel Mike Hammond told The Huffington Post. “They think that if they don’t say anything that it will go away.”
I have pretty clear memories of that time. The NRA was on the news almost every night, fighting the media lies. Remember who came up with the School Marshal idea and was universally made fun of for it?

I also hope this isn't an indication of a big rift between the two.

Again, my point was missed. A poster said it was " petty" of Rand Paul to call out the NRA publicly. I was saying I didn't agree with that. It helps to read comments in context. ;-)
How can it not be petty? Do you think he was entitled to an invitation?

Being disappointed about not being invited is one thing. Publicly calling out the one that did not invite you is petty... period.

Re: NRA excludes Rand Paul at national convention

Publicly calling out the NRA (or anyone else) for not inviting him to speak makes Rand Paul look awfully petty.
