The NRA is NOT a 2nd Amendment organization... They are a professional lobbying organization under the guise of the 2nd Amendment. Their goal is not our 2nd Amendment rights, it’s 2nd Amendment controversy in order to get a larger membership and more money.
Following a rebellion by two important factions of rank-and-file House Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has pulled a campaign-finance bill opposed by a broad coalition of special interest groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

I don’t follow the NRA for conservative activism, I follow them for gun rights. I’ve seen them endorse plenty of folks for their gun rights stances (e.g. Harry Reid), but the rest of their record is abysmal.
I follow the NRA for my gun rights first. I come here to FR for conservative activism and read The Patriot Post for other endorsements.
This is getting to be a pretty pathetic statement in regards to the NRA's actions!
The groups that got most of the gun laws repealed or modified around the country in the last few years has been done by LOCAL 2A groups and their members, not the NRA! So the NRA Groupies need to get off that talking point, as it just makes anyone that tosses it out look like a partisan hack!
Bush initially reversed the ban "National Parks Carry" and I don't consider him a friend of the 2A at all!
That fails the "first they came for the Communists" test [yeah, not the best choice of groups, but that is the quote]. If the NRA is ready to ching the rest of the Constitution, I'm ready to ching the NRA. There is waaaaaay too much "I got mine, the heck with you" going on these days.
So true, with the HealthCareReform BS it became obvious there's no such thing as a moderate democrat. They're rats, through and through.
In their world there is no need for a Constitution, they'll make up the rules as they go along. That's what makes them so dangerous, and they don't even know it (fools). I only trust a rat as far as I can kick 'em.
The NRA should be wary of any deals with these scum as should every American who cares about our fate. November can't come soon enough and when it does, that Great Flushing Sound heard will be the re-birth of a Nation To Which It Stands. No more quarter to these bastards. None.
