Why Gunbroker when Auction Arms is the official firearms auction site for the NRA? Somebody didn't get the memo?

I have been a member of the NRA most of my adult life, so it worries me that Friends of the NRA would use Gunbroker for this auction when the NRA designated Auction Arms as their Official Auction Site from the very beginning. This looks a little two faced, and I don't like two faced. Sorry.
