We knew it. I am an NRA member.

“Does the NRA still support Harry Reid ?”

Harry Reid has been Senate Majority Leader for 7 years now. During that time he has not allowed a single peice of anti gun legislation to come to the floor for a vote. So your idea is for the NRA to make him an enemy? Brilliant!

And BTW, the NRA did not support him in his last election. They didn’t endorse anyone.

So where do you think the Senate Republicans will be?

Locked out. I thought this would be funny but come to think of it they might try.

I wasn’t saying to make Reid an enemy, I was just asking if he was still an ally of the NRA.

Lighten up Francis.

"Treaties go through the Senate. They have nothing to do with the House."

True. But any funds for enforcement have to originate in the House. But it would be preferable to get/keep enough pro-gun Senators to block action there as well.

Yeah ... I read it in American Rifleman. TWO YEARS AGO. Then I puked. Chris Cox makes Manchin look good on paper. I think you'll find the reality a bit different. "He signed legislation ..." Big deal. The Legislature would have shoved it down his throat if he had vetoed it.

Meanwhile, he spent the last year in the Senate supporting Harry Reid and Barack 0bama.

I'm not impressed.

That's what they SHOULD do when both candidates are pro-gun.

Sorry I misinterpreted your post. There were tons of the “I’ll never give another dime to the NRA” crowd calling for just that a couple of years ago.

Yes, the key would be in stopping the treaty in the first place. Otherwise, the House will cut funding about as well as they have with Obamacare.

Another poster on this thread made this comment and question:

The NRA can talk a good game....

But when it comes down to it...they will support Dims. WHY?

This is what I answered:

"Why do you think over 60 rats sent a letter telling Holder to pound sand as far as a renewal of a so called "assault weapon" ban in March 2009? If the NRA supports a rat who (is) solid on the Second Amendment, then that's OK with me. That's all I expect of the NRA, taking care of the Second Amendment."

They are not a GOP subsidiary. Their policy of endorsing incumbents who are just as solid on the Second Amendment as a GOP challenger is logical, even if I don't like it.

“Obama, Romney, they’re both the same. Romney would have done this.”

No he wouldn’t. You’re lying like a rug.

But don't you see? Those same rats, while they passed your test on guns, probably voted FOR Obamacare, increased taxes, etc - everything that makes a rat a rat, and sinks our country.

We can't be single issue voters any more - not that it matters any longer...

When are NRA endorsed rats voting for gun grabbing? The NRA downgraded any rat member of the Senate who voted for Sotomayor or Kagan, IIRC.

Just read you said your Romney statement was sarcasm. No one would know that unless you tag it as such. Otherwise you reap the results of not doing so, which is heavy fire back at you. Best you get the /s out of the alphabet and use it next time, lol.

I'm not, but a gun grabbing pubbie can go play with their anatomy. I want the NRA to be a single issue organization.

My experience is if someone is good on the 2nd Amendment, then about 9 out of 10 times they're conservative or libertarian. I can live with most of the latter. They're usually limited gov't types.

Rat's vote yea...when it's expedient. They vote no when it' also to their advantage.

ANY vote or support of a DemoSocialistMarxistLiberal is a vote AGAINST our country. That's my opinion.
