The National Rifle Association has puzzled many observers as well as angered its conservative members by remaining neutral in the contest for Nevada’s seat in the US Senate in November. In that race, Sharron Angle is challenging incumbent Harry Reid, running on the Republican ticket as a Tea Party conservative. Her own campaign site notes as follows her position on the right to bear arms.

I dropped my membership to the NRA...it’s not my fathers organization any longer.
Not only the endorsement thing, heck there like a retail merchandising outlet these days.
Hordes of letters and solicitations.
Hey NRA, go back to your roots and stop all the nonsense.
same here...it was blatant sensationalism on every issue.
I’ve always been ambivilent about the NRA. I first had my own membership card and American Rifleman subscription in 1968, I think. They did NOT fight GCA 1968 nearly as hard as they should have. It’s been pretty much all downhill since.
Things have changed in this country over the last 30 years. The Democrat party is no longer the “loyal opposition”. It is a party of Marxist, communists, socialists, anarchists, etc. whose aim is to take away our freedoms.
The NRA is foolish if it thinks that gun owner's rights are best served by enabling this Marxist scum. If they endorse Harry, we need a complete house-cleaning at the NRA. Heads should roll. Put Ted Nugent in charge of the house-cleaning. From a Life Member.
ARE YOU LISTENING WAYNE? CHRIS?

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.
