hyperpoly8 sez: If you have other information, why not share it with NRA members, like myself, who would be very interested.

OK - as a former NRA member who left the organization over this issue, I have two questions for you:

1) How does someone who signed the 1993 Clinton Gun Ban (you can look it up) get an A rating from the NRA?

2) How does NRA give Specter an A when Gun Owners of America gives him a C-? (BTW, Toomey got an A from GOA prior to the PA Senate primary, yet NRA endorsed Specter over Toomey)

Hope this helps - as someone who shares your passionate support of RKBA, I look forward to your response.

I've also pinged OKSooner, who has similar issues with the NRA with regards to the Coburn-Carson Senate race.

I'm only a member, not in the know about how the grades are given out. But, I did go to the NRA website to look up his current grade, and it is an "A". How he got it, I don't know. I am not from the east coast and don't know much about Sen. Specter except what I've read or heard. The Clinton gun ban was in 1994, I think, it just sunsetted this fall.

Hoo-boy, what a mess. It all boils down to a calculating effort by the NRA to enable lies being told by a dem candidate for US senate against a solid 2nd amendment Republican.

It went from bad to worse when I tried to bring it to the attention of the NRA. Turns out my district's election volunteer coordinator had split the state and gone to Iowa for the last few days before the election. Not that I mind him helping out with the Bush campaign, but it left everyone in Oklahoma's first congressional district without access to NRA resources, and the lies continued all the way thru election day.

An ugly scene all the way round, and it's still going on. Bottom line is I'm now a member of LEAA and GOA, but not NRA.
