Why do politicians that carry around a lightning rod seem so surprised when they get what they ask for? Did she think her NRA membership card implied some sort of electoral insurance against accountability?

If you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

NRA’s power is no different than the soul-stealing, thieving ways of AARP, any fricking union at all, or ANY one of George Soros-supported PACs, ‘movement’s, et al. Nor is it any worse than Planned Parenthood lobbying and sympatico, Google’s meddiling, Facebook’s meddling or any other rich-ass liberal’s playtoy.

Screw her, screw them. At least WE have a giant, too.

“Margaret...killed an NRA-backed bill that would have permitted Tennesseans to keep firearms in their parked vehicles...”

I’m thinking... duh... she should NOT have killed the bill.

Maggart was stunned

Maggart, you are so fortunate folks like me are not in charge and you were only stunned. You should be in prison doing at least 10 years of HARD labor for the decision you made to try and disarm law-abiding citizens. I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth, ever.

But my question is, will the Democrat running against her be better? Of course not.

The NRA needs to rethink some support....for HARRY REID......

If you accept the banner of the NRA, you have to accept their policies or you will be held accountable. I wish the Catholic Church would do the same.

“As a pro-Second Amendment person and a life member of the NRA, I was just shocked they did this to me,” Maggart said in an interview.

If you're pro-Second Amendment, then why did you use your influence to kill a bill that bolsters it?

She deserves it! Not being able to lock your weapon in your POV limits folks from carrying. It should also apply to school properties and events and all state property.

Bad title; “take no prisoners”. It should have been NRA stands on principal.

Our long fought for CC law in WI contains a provision that mandates (under certain storage requirements) no one can ban CC weapons in parked, locked personal vehicles. Why? Because if you want to go to a store that is posted what are you supposed to do with your weapon?

Actually...if conservatives would act the way the NRA does...we would never have John McCain as a Senator or presidential candidate

I like that the NRA stood firm On a gun control politician...too many times GOP voters make excuses for supporting a politician who is obviously liberal

She says NRA turned on her.....Ha !

I’m the NRA’s banker Debra, me, the voter, my dues and donations to NRA and other such organizations are the source of the NRA’s funds. Those that monitor polidiots like you who try to circumvent the constitution. They say who you are, what you do and myself, members of the NRA or not, get to decide if what you did was constitutional and or conservative by voting.

NRA doesn’t vote Debra, they are the sentry of the Second Amendments security. They tell the membership and general public what you did.

Debra ....I can’t be everywhere, all the time, your state or mine thus I pay to have folks like the NRA to seek trash like you out.

Debra ya took an oath to uphold the constitution. Then didn’t honor that oath.

Bye !

I'm guessing she didn't learn a thing from Ms. Lewinski - just paying lip service will not endear you to those you are trying to impress...
