My take on GOA statement is;
“Don't let perfect be the enemy of good” is an aphorism that means striving for perfection can prevent people from implementing good improvements. It's often used to describe how people can get so caught up in making things perfect that they never get anything done. The phrase is commonly attributed to the French writer and activist Voltaire, and comes from the French proverb l'ennemi du bien est le bien.
The goal in November is to win the White House and even better both Houses of Congress. The party platform had become very bloated since 1980s with everyone special interest mentioned. So the party leaders made deliberate effort to piss everyone off and cut back on the language and issues. Beside nobody except political junkies pay any attention to a party platform. Its all too often about the POTUS candidates personality rather than policy action.

Former president Donald Trump has the firm support of the NRA, but not all gun rights groups are thrilled with the direction things are going. It seems Gun Owners of America are fully prepared to turn their back on not just Trump, but the GOP as a whole.
And from the Truth about Guns blog.
While the Republican Party has taken most of the references to firearms out of its official Party Platform, a meeting hosted by the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday leaves little doubt that the GOP remains steadfastly pro-Second Amendment.
“Something that’s very important to us from a campaign standpoint and an issue standpoint is allowing law-abiding citizens the ability to carry their firearms and protect themselves and their families, and that’s an issue that will always be an important one for the Republican Party,” Chris LaCivita, Trump campaign senior adviser said at the USCCA gathering.
“I think what we’ll see is a continuation of supporting and defending the Second Amendment and where that really comes into play is the judiciary, the appointment of judges. And so that is clearly, you know, one of the largest impacts that President Trump had clearly during his first term was a remake of the judiciary.”

A growing gun rights group is threatening to turn its back on former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party for leaving protections for firearm owners off the party platform.
“Our stance is very simple,” Luis Valdes, national spokesman for Gun Owners of America, told the Washington Examiner. “We will not compromise, and we will be relentless in holding Republicans accountable to their campaign promises. Republicans campaign that they are pro-gun. We will hold their feet to the fire.”
