Many of the gun-control groups have moved to be liberal identity groups, just like some gun-rights groups have moved more towards being conservative identity groups. These tactics appeal to many in their base while alienating those who only agree on the gun issue.

Want to join March For Our Lives? Well, I hope you're very into intersectionalism and a whole host of leftwing activist priorities. Want to join the NRA? Well, I hope you're very into country music and the right-wing culture war.
These groups will happily take your donations if you support their core mission and don't fit the mold they're casting. But, good luck feeling welcome there.
This applies well beyond guns. Just look at what the ACLU is up to these days. It's likely driven largely by the increased polarization we've seen over the past decade. But many groups are diving into it.
These groups clearly think the tradeoffs are worth it. I'm not convinced.
