It would have been even more if they hadn’t helped to retain some-anti gun Democrats! NRA can act like team players now, but they should be relegated to the back of the Republican coalition since they supported so many Democrat Incumbents in the last election.
They’re not part of the Republican coalition. Sure, they mostly support Republicans, but the NRA is a single-issue organization. They don’t owe it to you to lend support on non-gun related matters.
Remember when Obama and/or Holder floated a renewed and improved so-called "assault weapons ban"? IIRC, 64 rats wrote Holder to forget about it. IIRC, Pelosi, and maybe Reid, said as much. They were perfectly poised to do a ton of damage to the Second Amendment if they were not beholden to those pro-Second Amendment rats.
This campaign cycle, the NRA has endorsed 61 Democratic and 197 Republican House candidates, as well as 23 GOP and two Democratic Senate candidates.
Ask yourself why didn't all those pubbies in Congress get endorsed by the NRA?
