Target Practice?

This is the problem with single issue groups and voters. You have to look at the whole candidate and not just your pet issue.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

cuz they friggen suck?

Harry had a picture made of him holding a rifle...photo opp to try and not lose his seat...I guess the NRA was fooled.

[Richard Kimball]

Couple of things. First, the NRA supposedly is solely about RTKBA. Although this should rule out any Democrat, Reid has a decent record on voting for RTKBA, although his party is the only major party trying to destroy that right.

Second, most of the guys that are serious about gun ownership whom I know insist that the NRA is not serious about RTBA, but has been infiltrated by the flakes who want "sensible gun legislation."

That said, yeah, they're endorsing Reid, and they can forget about my contributions.

[Colvin]

They are single issue. I suppose Reid has stood with them in the past, so they are obliging.
On top of that the NRA probably finds it is good policy to support at least a couple of DIMS, so they can not be accused of being single party and loose some legal status of some sort.

Withholding my renewal for now. Maybe again someday when they come to their senses!

[Vinnie]

Glad I tossed their solicitation in the trash last week.

Reid is a toad, but he has been supportive of Gun Rights and events that he feels are convenient for his political life style. About 6 months ago the Clark County Nevada recreation department opened a large “shooting Park” that never would have been opened without Reid's influence. The NRA helped organize this shooting facility with the aid of Reid, so they are tied at the hip on this situation. Plus there might have been some “back room deal” with Reid to keep new gun legislation off the table. I think that is the answer to this story.

If true, no renewal from me.

[TheOldLady]

When I heard this, I canceled my membership and stopped my automatic monthly donation to them.

[ScottinVA]

The NRA has seen the last of my donations and membership if that endorsement comes to pass.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Reid has no deep convictions, if he thinks he can get away with it he will go along with anything the gun grabbers want.

[ViLaLuz]

I stopped supporting the NRA when they backed that RINO Scozzifava (sp?) in the NY race.

[Dan Nunn]

If Freepers were strategists, we would never get elected.

The NRA throws its support to a critical Democrat who supports their agenda (RKBA). Their agenda isn’t to elect conservatives.

And can anyone tell me what firearms restrictions have been passed during the last 2 years of TOTAL Democrat rule?

Oh wait - a REPEAL of the ban on CCW in national parks!

I guess the NRA ain’t all that bad.

[Lurker]

Because the NRA is the largest gun control organization in America. If the Dems go away and gun control fades to obscurity as a political issue the NRA's little cash cow goes away.

That's why.
