The NRA is NOT a PARTISAN organization.
NRA doesn’t stand for National Republican Association.
If a dem, as liberal and wrong on everything else as they might be just happens to be ‘pro-2nd’, they will endorse them. Especially if they are incumbents, or have established records. They don’t pay attention to which party a candidate is from.
I know it can be infuriating at times, but that’s how it is. They are a single issue organization.
A National Hand Gun Association would be even more defining.
Exactly. NRA is hardly the only lobby group that endorses incumbents if they have been supportive of its positions. Hell, I can remember when the Human Rights Campaign endorsed Al D'Amato on the same grounds.
My friend, I think you’re ignoring the fact that the Second Amendment doesn’t exist in a bubble. Candidates’ proclivities for bigger or smaller government weigh in on every decision they make and can very easily influence them to change their position.
Case in point: the so-called “pro-life” Democrats on Obamacare. When it became clear that their support was needed for passage, many of them cast their votes even though it was clear even then that it would usher in abortion.
Would it not be better to err on the side of caution and side with conservatives, who are less likely to vote for big government policies?
I’m a life member. It’s over. NRA is not what I signed up for they continue to solicit me for money every month, it’s like the Susan G. Komen Breast cancer program. It totally about the money. NRA spends it to some pro-gun programs and then makes idiots of themselves by backing Reid in Nevada. Kromen spends money on breast cancer, puts money in their pockets and sends the rest to Planned Parenthood, AKA Abortion clinics. You do the math.
You do know they endorsed Harry Reid, don't you?
But, any member of the House who has voted for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker IS NOT PRO-GUN, PRO-CONSTITUTION or PRO-FREEDOM.
The NRA is endorsing these Democrats over Republican State Legislators with exemplary state pro-gun records. There is also the dirty little fact that Pelosi allows Democrats from conservative districts to vote against her if she doesn't need their vote to pass anti-gun, anti-conservative legislation.
The NRA needs to just keep their mouth shut if this is as good as they can do.

That would make sense if the rats they support really supported the 2nd Amendment. In 2nd Amendment cases, it always comes down to judges. Rats will always blackball a pro-2nd Amendment judge in favor of a lib who believes in a "living constitution". The NRA insults our intelligence by claiming they support the 2nd regardless of party. Pro-2nd Amendment rats are as sincere as pro-life rats.
So the NRA tell you to vote for someone like harry reid who supports some of your legislative efforts, but who in turn votes to confirm judges who are blatantly anti-gun and whole heatedly supports bureaucracies like the ATF, kind of short sighted don’t you think?
Do if there is an incumben dem who is:
Pro Gun,
BUT
Pro-Choice
Pro-Obamacare
Pro-Open Borders
Anti-Gitmo
Pro Taxes
Pro Cap and Trace
You are saying we should just accept that the NRA gives the guy their nod because he is “Pro 2A”?
BS to that!!!!!!!!!!
