The National Rifle Association is not getting a lot of rave reviews from its members lately. In fact, by the looks of things the NRA is willfully taking a long trip up poop creek and doing so without a paddle in hand. What is the whole kerfuffle that has led to this ill advised journey? Well it revolves around Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Harry Reid is in a not so surprising fight for his political future in Nevada. The incumbent Senator is in a statistical dead heat with challenger Sharron Angle. It is a fight that Mr. Reid does not believe he should be in and that he cannot understand. He thinks the people should adore him. If they are foolish enough not to blindly love him then at least he thinks they should show him some respect as a long term representative of theirs in Washington and simply reelect him. Whether or not Mr. Reid deserves such respect after years of trashing individual liberties and our Constitution is of secondary importance. For you see, Harry Reid is a member of the ruling class and he is entitled.
Like most liberals, Harry Reid is a walking gaffe machine. And when he speaks his lack of substance becomes regularly apparent. So it would be a surprise for most to learn that the NRA is actually considering endorsing this man in the 2010 midterm elections. Yes, you heard right, the NRA is actually considering endorsing a man who has been a leader in our charge off the cliff and into the abyss.
The NRA’s excuse? They claim Harry Reid has been a champion of gun rights. On top of that they opine that if Harry Reid is defeated and the Democrats retain control of the Senate someone unkind to gun rights might ....

Hey STUPID, it's about
Got a mailing from them asking me to renew about 6 mos early. Ha.
Harry will dump on the 2nd amendment the instant it becomes politically expedient.
Just in case I can ever afford a gun, is there an alternatative to the NRA?
I WILL NOT RENEW MY MEMBERSHIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out Association for Gun Rights
Paging Mr. LaPierre, Mr. Wayne LaPierre. Pick up the white courtesy phone. If there ever was a more peerfect example of establishment politics, I have yet to see it. A pox on them all.
1.2.3....The NRA is a single isue entity, blah, blah. blah.... You know its coming......
They always send renewals way ahead of time.
They say if I renew now it would save them money and the trouble of sending more renewal requests. Idiots!
Where’s Tom Seleck when you need him?
Has the NRA been invaded like the rest of the country?
Has anyone sent an email to the NRA saying membership renewal is contingent on no reid endorsement?
any responses at all?
Dems are noted for ‘dumping’.
That is why the NRA exists.
I will defend the NRA. They have a more sophisticated strategy to protect the 2nd Admendment. They have their tentacles in both parties and are quick to punish any politician that votes otherwise. If the NRA is a one party organization, ala GOP, it would make it even harder for a pro gun Democrat (rare but they do exist) to vote for the NRA supported bill and etc. Does that mean the NRA is perfect, no, but so far they are not doing too bad of a job in Congress. They were too timid on the 2A lawsuit to the SCOTUS. They argue that it was placing all the eggs in one basket, but I think the NRA would rather have the 2A in limbo because it keeps the cause (and donations) going. It turns out that they are wrong. The NRA has plenty of business because the anti 2A movement has shifted to the states.
Throw the bums out works for the NRA just as it does for Congress.
Many believe that Harry Reid is better than Chuckie Schumer
The nra has sold us out for some time now.
There’s always Gun Owners of America and The Second Amendment Foundation. IIRC the SAF was the mover on the recent MacDonald case in Chicago
I didn’t email them but I did return the membership form and let them know why I WILL NOT be renewing my membership.
No way does Harry Reid believe in the 2nd amendment. An armed populace is too much of a threat to tyrants. And Harry Reid is a tyrant; a ranking member of a party based on tyranny. An armed populace means freedom. He can’t support that.
The NRA needs to stop playing politics and trying to be a “Friend of Government.”
They are not, and cannot be, for this government now considers the Constitution an enemy, an irritant that disrupts political class opportunities!
Get rid of Reid; he is a cancer upon the body politic.
