And if Chuckie Schumer becomes the next Majority Leader without FR working for a Republican Majority, you’ll be the first one crying for the NRA’s help when all those gun bills start piling up.

Congratulations for being part of Sarah Brady’s wet dream.

So your whole reasoning is that we'd better off with a pro-gun socialist scumbag than a moderate Republican who at the very least wouldn't make things worse?

You don't win at chess by ceding both your knights and all of your pawns on your first move.

"Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas."

Reid will sell out gun owners in a New York instant and you damn well know it.

If the NRA endorses Harry Reid, the lead man in the Senate responsible for destroying our Liberty, then they can rot in hell!! And if you support Reid too, you can join them there.

THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

When I emailed to complain, I got this as a response:

Thank you for contacting us.
Please see NRA-ILA’s response to questions and comments about NRA-PVF Candidate Endorsements:
http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/NewsReleases.aspx?ID=14003

The fact that this is even up for consideration is appalling to me. Obamacare will open the door to medical intrusion vis a vis guns. How can’t they see this? Anyone who voted for obamacare is de facto against guns.

Done with the NRA for good.

Uh, no I won't, considering they didn't want to take the Heller case in the first place.

Classic example of Beltway tunnel vision. It's very simple: Reid scratched the right backs and they reciprocated. That's how the Congress/Lobbyist game is played, and anyone who thinks the actual issue has anything to do with it hasn't worked in DC. It's all about power.

As a Life Member I'm sorry to see it. The current Board needs to be tossed, IMHO, and told why.

When the list of Board candidates comes out next year, I suggest that we have a discussion of the candidates here on Free Republic. I suspect that we can have some effect just by getting a number of those of us eligible to vote to hash over the issues.

For what it is worth, the NRA has not yet actually endorsed Senator Reid despite Mr. Erickson's predictions of a few weeks ago. It appears that they are considering such a move from what they have written, but a strong and vocal dissent from the members about this move might prevent it from happening.

The NRA is not a wing of the Republican party . They base their support and decisions on how candidates behave regarding the Second Amendment , as they should .
As ugly as the truth is , Dingy Harry has been the only person standing in the way of advancement of AWB-2 and other anti-gun bills for the past two years . Is he scum for the other things he does ? Yes , but we are talking about the NRA and the gun issue SOLELY here, so i’m putting it into perspective .

The NRA has to hedge their bets in case the Repubs don’t win the Senate . If Reid goes down and the Dims retain the Senate, we will have Schumer or Turbin advancing extremely radical anti-gun agendas , among other things .

From a Gun Rights perspective , I hope Angle wins , but only if the Repubs take the Senate . If we don’t win the Senate ,and/or God forbid, the House , for the sake of Gun Rights we better hope Dingy Harry stays where he is at . Another fact is that the gun issue is the only reason he may win re-election . This is definately an ugly political situation , but the NRA will continue to have my support nonetheless .

I just went to the NRA website and sent them a message:
I am very disturbed to hear that the NRA may endorse Harry Reid from Nevada even though he supported the Brady Bill and not the second amendment. Please tell me this is wrong and an unfounded rumor. I can find better ways to support pro-gun candidates than support the NRA if this is true. Please respond ASAP!

I will post their response if they do so.

They might not endorse , but instead give both candidates an “A” rating, leaving it up to Nevada gun owners . They are in a tough spot ,(NRA and Nevada gunowners), as I have laid out in the post above .If the numbers don’t stack up to a Repub takeover of the Senate, it will be a huge gamble for the NRA to back Angle over Reid .
