Harry will dump on the 2nd amendment the instant it becomes politically expedient.

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.

Many believe that Harry Reid is better than Chuckie Schumer

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.

I had an argument with a NRA caller about a month ago.
Naturally, they wanted money. I told the guy that as long as they endorsed Reid, and Wayne LaPierre was the President, I would never give them a dime, again.
The Bonehead didn’t even know what I was talking about.

The Reid issue is only the latest NRA “image problem.” It wasn’t too long ago they pushed through the NICS Improvement Act which stands to take away legal firarms ownership from veterans with PTSD, the infirmed elderly and other groups of citizens who otherwise wouldn’t have been at risk for being charged with a felony before this act passed.

The NRA actively supports “moderate” gun control and have for quite some time.

breaking-just got the following email:

2010 Nevada U.S. Senate Race
In the coming days and weeks, the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) will be announcing endorsements and candidate ratings in hundreds of federal races, as well as thousands of state legislative races. Unless these announcements are required by the timing of primary or special elections, the NRA-PVF generally does not issue endorsements while important legislative business is pending. The NRA-PVF also operates under a long-standing policy that gives preference to incumbent candidates who have voted with the NRA on key issues, which is explained in more detail here.
The U.S. Senate recently considered a number of issues important to NRA members, including the confirmation of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. Out of respect for the confirmation process, the NRA did not announce its position on Ms. Kagan’s confirmation until the conclusion of her testimony before the Senate Judiciary committee. Her evasive testimony exacerbated grave concerns we had about her long-standing hostility towards the Second Amendment. As a result, the NRA strongly opposed her confirmation and made it clear at the time that we would be scoring this important vote.

The vote on Elena Kagan’s confirmation to the Court, along with the previous year’s confirmation vote on Sonia Sotomayor, are critical for the future of the Second Amendment. After careful consideration, the NRA-PVF announced today that it will not be endorsing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for re-election in the 2010 U.S. Senate race in Nevada.

NRA members and other interested parties are encouraged to visit www.NRAPVF.org for more information as Election Day draws near.
