The NRA’s skirmish with a Texas group lasted four days, with the NRA’s executive director on Tuesday apologizing for the suggestion that a Texas gun rights group scale back its demonstrations.

“The truth is an alert went out that referred to this type of behavior as weird or somehow not normal, and that was a mistake,” Mr. Cox said. “It shouldn’t have happened and I’ve had a discussion with the staffer who wrote that piece and expressed his personal opinion. And our job isn’t to criticize the lawful behavior of fellow gun owners. … So this is a distraction and certainly the media has had a field day with it.”

On Friday the NRA posted an unsigned story that suggested Open Carry Texas’s tactics are hurting the greater gun-rights cause. Then it wrote:

“Let’s not mince words, not only is it rare, it’s downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one’s cause, it can be downright scary.

The issue, Mr. Cox said Tuesday, is one of “tactics,” not of end goals.

“We can have disagreements on tactics but what we can’t have are disagreements on underlying principles,” he said.

The NRA, Mr. Cox said, “unequivocally” supports efforts for open- and concealed-carry laws.

“It’s a distraction, there was some confusion, we apologize for any confusion,” he said. “But we’re going to focus on our job which is to win and effectuate positive policy changes.”
