The VCDL and NRA are very different animals.
The VCDL is a small but extremely effective state organization. It has its ear to ground here and can mobilize very quickly. In the VA state legislature it certainly is the 600-pound gorilla.
OTOH, the NRA is a large, ponderously slow national organization. No doubt before making any decision, multiple layers of bureaucracy have to approve everything.
Still, in the US Congress it’s the NRA that’s the 600-pound gorilla. And ATF is answerable to Congress, not the VA state legislature.
Basically, the VCDL is a fast naval destroyer, while the NRA is a slow moving battleship. They’re just different.
We need both.
