Hmmm - Texas Gun Sense is one of their partners.

I can't fault them for their advocacy of safe gun storage but if you dig deep into the website this is a squishy-feely organization and I don't think they have the Second's best intentions at heart.
From a blog post about an NRA raffle.

Here you go from Texas Gun "Non"SenseThe NRA wants to give me guns as sweepstakes prize. They do have a prize in the sweepstakes I would like to have, but it’s probably not for the reasons they think.
Last week in my mail was a sweepstakes envelope from the NRA. I stared at the glossy emblazoned mailer that included an early entry bonus prize. I could win a 36-Gun Grand Prize! I stared at the envelope from Fairfax, Virginia, and turned it over in my hands. I know I’m a new NRA member, but a gun giveaway? How many school shootings have there been since the start of the new year? I read it’s now 10. My skin crawls, and I refuse to look inside of the envelope. I hadn’t thought of guns as a prize. For the last nine years I’ve thought about them being safer in our world.
Texas Gun Sense will be working with policy makers during the 2021 legislative session to make sure that Texas passes gun-related bills that address gun safety and gun violence prevention. Texas Gun Sense priorities for the 2021 legislative session:
Universal Background Checks: Every gun sale in Texas should be subject to a background check, with appropriate exceptions.
Extreme Risk Protection Orders: Allowing civil court judges to keep families and communities safe by restricting access to firearms for persons at extreme risk of suicide or homicide.
Safe storage of firearms: Renewing the funding for the Texas Department of Public Safety safe firearm storage campaign, Keep ‘Em Safe Texas.
Also, we will work for passage of common-sense, evidence-based gun-related bills that will make Texans safer. We will work to defeat gun-related bills that jeopardize the safety of Texans.
