They originally endorsed Carson and when the GOP went into an uproar they pulled back and said both deserved the A rating. Only problem was that Carson was a phony. He used his old pickup with a gun rack only during elections. He was pro-second amendment when it counted for election. He even joked to a another Congressman about how he suckered Okies to thinking he was a hunter.
Complaints to the NRA fell on deaf ears. I was part of the Coburn campaign and why the GOA got support in OK that was given to the NRA before. When you can cancel an NRA membership to go to GOA you tend to remember it well. I was furious. Would NEVER support the NRA. When their lawyer is helping that lowlife Edmonson, the handwriting is on the wall.
Interesting, but not the way I remember it. Do you know anywhere this might be documented? The NRA probably endorsed Carson over his primary opponent, but endorsing Carson over Coburn doesn't seem likely.
