Heck of a propaganda piece.
As far as I can tell, the NRA has endorsed no one in that election.
I would not doubt it. They endorsed that Kirsten Gillibrand lady who turned on them. They endorsed Jack “Our military’s back is broken” Murtha.
The NRA has to work on their endorsements.
Whats the point of endorsing someone who “has a good pro-gun” record if they spend 99% of their supporting legislation and organizations that work against gun rights?
I can’t imagine why they would give high marks or endorse these people. It amazes me.
These people will fund ACORN, Planned Parentood, PBS, NPR, Teachers Union, AARP etc etc
What are those groups positions on guns?
But yet the NRA doesn’t consider funding them to be negatives on their scorecard?

NRA is a one trick pony — they have tunnel vision, examining NO other issue than their little, specific agenda items. They DON’T try to take acount of the “bigger issues” or how they can and WILL effect their own agendas. It’s reall quite sad. I had to stop supporting them a few years back (as did my Dad)because they endorsed Democrats that, with the exception of a couple of notable “pro-gun” statements and positions, were Statist Socialists. I’d rather support folks like the Gun Owners of America because they aren’t so fixated on their issues that they can’t REASON out the implications of Big-Governoverment rules. And, OTHER freedoms which will SURELY take our 2nd Amendment freedoms and gut what’s left of the Constitution.

The official NRA endorsement below:
Dear Assemblywoman Scozzafava:
On behalf of our four million members, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse your candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in the special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district.
During your tenure in the New York Assembly, you have been a strong and consistent supporter of the Second Amendment. You are the only candidate in this special congressional election with a solid pro-gun legislative record.
As you know, the Second Amendment and our hunting heritage are very important to New Yorkers, and your positions on these issues demonstrate a solid commitment to the rights of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen.
Based on your tested and proven record in the New York Assembly, as well as your responses to our federal candidate questionnaire, you have earned an “A” rating from the NRAPVF. On November 3, we urge our members, gun owners and sportsmen in New York’s 23rd congressional district to vote for you for Congress.
Good luck and we look forward to our continued relationship.
Sincerely,
Chris W. Cox
Chairman

The NRA is the most successful conservative organization in America for a reason. FOCUS. They have their job to do and they do it.
Republican majority in Congress or don’t you understand the political system we have?
What do you care anyway? The active NRA members on this board have the initials in their tagline or their homepage. Nonmembers and people sitting on the sidelines don’t have the right to criticize.
He answered “We have to endorse candidates who support us.”
When I countered with “On the day we see a Democrat in the White House, 70 in the Senate and 275 in the House what will they do first: out law the Republican party or take a razor blade and cut out the Second Amendment?”
He had no answer.
