On the eve of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan -- and for the second time in two weeks -- the National Rifle Association (NRA) is under fire from conservatives. According to RedState's Erick Erickson, a prominent conservative blogger, "internal Senate emails confirmed by NRA Board Members show that the National Rifle Association's management team has explicitly and directly told the NRA's board they are prohibited from testifying about second amendment issues" during the Kagan hearings.

Thanks for posting. BTTT!
Waiting for the NRA apologists to come in here, chastise anyone criticizing this particular plan, and tell us that this is just masterful strategery that the rest of us buffoons are too stupid to see the brilliance of.
and they give Reid a D rating and will not back him in the election....they did however give Reid his Photo op as Reid helped open up ranges in Nevada.
I have given up on the NRA for the second time, the first around thirty years ago when Harlan Carter ran the show. I believe that Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a better outfit, and will be my choice for second amendment rights defense from now on. http://gunowners.org/
Join the ONLY 2nd Amendment group that has done ANYTHING of substance for gun owners... the Bill of Rights Foundation was the core group behind Heller.
I just emailed the PVF and the ILA to ask what their answer to the article was.
So who are those uh, guys sucking up to Reid while he’s not at the line missing clay birds with his Weatherby custom engraved O/U?
With a Key Supreme Court Decision
Pending, NRA Watches the Court's Latest Nominee
Friday, June 25, 2010
On Monday, June 28, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will begin confirmation hearings on the nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to be an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. With a Supreme Court decision expected that same day in the critical Second Amendment case of McDonald v. City of Chicago and many more Second Amendment cases likely to come, the NRA is following the debate over the Kagan nomination extremely closely.
Because Ms. Kagan has no judicial record and few academic writings, the NRA is carefully reviewing her record in other government posts, including her clerkship for the late Justice Thurgood Marshall and her involvement in formulating anti-gun policies at the Clinton White House. What we've seen to date shows a hostility towards our Right to Keep and Bear Arms, such as her role in developing the Clinton Administration's 1998 ban on importation of many models of semi-automatic rifles; her note mentioning the NRA and the Ku Klux Klan as “bad guy” organizations; and her comment to Justice Marshall that she was “not sympathetic” to a challenge to Washington, D.C.’s handgun ban.
We are working with pro-gun Senators to make sure that Ms. Kagan is aggressively questioned regarding her views on the Second Amendment and other issues that affect America's 80 million gun owners and we look forward to hearing her answers.
This just goes to prove that as gun owners, we’re basically on our own.
The *Progressive* movement has bought off or infiltrated nearly every institution in this country. In turn, these disputes will likely be settled by the point of a gun.
When Obama got elected I finally rejoined after a long hiatus because of their inconsistent political activity.
But I’m thinking of canceling my membership again.
I do not want one penny of my money helping the NRA support leftist policies and candidates.
It seems the NRA is well on the way to becoming just another front organization like AARP.
Their actions of late have been quite disappointing for this Life member.
What the hell is the matter with NRA?? Charleton Heston wouldn’ve have put up with this sh*t. The current NRA leadership needs to set things right or that organization is going to see an exodus of membership.
I don’t know why people continue to fund this organization.
Nugent is still the highest-profile NRA board member; I’d like to know what Ted thinks of this - and the Disclose Act business.
