That logic is the problem. NRA balances a real gov't need to regulate vs. a theoretical conspiracy

You'll note that this logic came from the founding fathers, and vastly predates the NRA, which was founded in 1871.

... and concludes that the theoretical gov't conspiracy to ban guns (in, again, the country with the most per capita guns in the world) is more important than the existing issue of illegal gun sales.

The NRA has been, and continues to be, a strong advocate of preventing illegal gun sales, keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals, and strong penalties for people who commit crimes with firearms.

The reality is that the NRA wants to protect illegal gun sales and criminal gun dealers, because that's how the NRA gets paid.

How so?
