I honestly don't know what you were trying to achieve.
You know the NRA don't do political stuff, nor do they support the idea of firearm ownership for self defence, so what exactly were you expecting? On top of that, you've posted a quote from an American politician and a picture in America, so it's not even relevant.

It's the point of hypocrisy of politicens who are against gun ownership regardless of country

The NRA is a registered charity - there are rules to adhere to in order to retain their status.

Do the anti-shooting type charities comply with all the above guidance?

In the context of this thread it doesn't matter. Also, of course, said anti-shooting charities are not as vulnerable as a shooting based charity. It's not right or just but is the current state of affairs.

I believe the NRA is there to promote the sporting use of firearms.
Your agenda is the self defence use of firearms.

I don't see what the original poster was trying to achieve by posting that crap on the National Rifle Associations face book page. The National Rifle Association is about sporting/target shooting. What has a bunch of armed heavies got to do with that.
