Has Gillibrand bucked the NRA? If she or Scozzafava or anyone else does they will pay and they know it. They need to know it and folks like me ensures it happens. I'm in it for the guns not conservatism. In fact, I may register Democrat so I can vote for Jerry Brown here in California as he is the only remotely pro-2A candidate running for Governor. Meg Whitman should stay home and eat bonbons.
I think that says it all. Atomic Dog, I believe you're on the wrong forum. FR is a forum for promoting conservatives. Period. We want candidates who proudly agree on our efforts to move this country in the right direction. We don't promote marxists because they happen to be right on one issue. If you're a single issue gun guy and think it's fine to enslave the rest of the country to socialism as long as you get to keep your gun, there are places for you on the website. Take your pro-Scozzafava views over a gun owner or sportsman forum. Probably plenty of Democrat gun owners there will agree with you. The NRA endorsed socialist traitor Jack Murtha simply because his record on guns was good (A+ rating from the NRA, but F ratings from every other conservative group on the planet). My guess is Murtha is your kinda candidate too.
Just as I'm against freepers who want to crucify a candidate who's 95% conservative because that person happens to be wrong on one issue, I am equally against freepers who want to a promote a 95% socialist candidate like LIEberman or Scozzacommie because they happen to be right on one single issue.
Bottom line: FR supports conservatives, not socialists. If you support socialists when they agree with you on your little pet issue, that puts you into conflict with the goals of this forum.
Gillibrand has totally flip flipped on gun control. She now tows the NY party line so as to avoid a primary challenge. She has no principles. Only a fool would vote for her.
The NRA jumps to endorse and fund democrats (over pro-gun Republicans) whenever it can in an effort to seem bipartisan. For that reason I recommend not ever giving them money. Unless you want to pay for billboards for Rep. Baron Hill of Indiana (pro 2a socialist scumbag).
As to Dede, being pro gun is the ONLY area she is conservative on. Hoffman is also pro-gun. Probably the rat too in that district. The NRA I believe only will endorse 1 candidate even if every candidate is just as pro-2A as the last (BTW the only one you can count on to vote for a pro-gun Speaker is Hoffman, that makes him the most pro-2a candidate)
Gingrich’s comments are retarded. Perfect smerfect NEWT, how about at least drawing the line at supporting unnominated (there was no primary) left of center Republicans? He can take his faux-eloquence and shove it.

You are right not to support Meg Whitman, I wouldn’t vote for that liberal slag to be Governor. However you are insane to consider voting for Moonbeam Brown, he’s not pro-gun at all.
If you want to vote pro-2a for Governor of Cali the AIP candidate looks like your best bet.
Since you aren’t a conservative though I do encourage you to go ahead and register as a demorat.
Being a single issue voter I find it odd you care so much about the NRA nod. They’re gun grabbers themselves when compared with the GOA.
