The N.R.A. is not a toady of the Republican National Committee. It supports candidates when their records support N.R.A. views. While this is mostly Republicans, it is not always Republicans. Every once in a while, they find a sane democrat.
That’s why I don’t give any money to the NRA. They are idiots. The biggest threat to gun rights doesn’t come from congress, it comes from an unelected activist judiciary. These Rats they support, especially in the senate will vote to confirm B. Hussein’s supreme court nominations (if, God forbid he becomes president)and that will be their end around to the 2nd amendment.
