I would suspect because there's nothing quite as frustrating as feeling undermined by people on your own side of the issue. We all may disagree about methods and strategies to get there, but if we actively start pooh poohing, or even sabotaging the efforts of others, we're not going to win this. That kind of behavior tires activists, and makes them give up. If you get more grief from your own side than you get from the anti-gun people, it can be enough to make someone just want to give up.
I know a few people who got burnt out on the RKBA. They still care deeply about it, but have decided to leave a lot of the grunt work to fresher blood.

Those on the other side of the issue feel the same way; there's nothing quite as frustrating as feeling undermined by people on your own side of the issue. No one gave one side of the argument a monopoly on the truth except maybe in their own minds. That doesn't explain the agenda though. Had someone come on this site and started saying, Greg Murphy
this, Harry Schneider
this or Kim Stolfer
that, well, that would be one thing, this is entirely different.
This doesn't exist on one side alone, you don't know what you don't know I guess.
And it's a pretty loose thread to claim outright sabotage.
