As thousands of Tea Party activists rally in his hometown of Searchlight, Nevada, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is burnishing his Second Amendment credentials.

Reid’s re-election campaign describes National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre as "one of the senator’s supporters." The two are at a $60 million Clark County shooting park which, according to the Reid campaign, wouldn't have opened without the senator’s help.

In a statement to CNN regarding Saturday’s Tea Party rally in his hometown, the Senate’s top Democrat said: "I'm happy so many people came to see my hometown of Searchlight and spend their out-of-state money especially in these tough economic times. Ultimately though this election will be decided by Nevadans, not people from other states who parachute in for one day to have a tea party."

Reid’s camp is trying to welcome the Tea Partiers. The Nevada State Democratic Party and the Reid campaign have set up a hospitality tent not far from the Tea Party rally site. "We are serving Tea and donut holes in recognition that Senator Reid just passed health care reform

A single dem’s 2A stance matters little as all they do is add to the dem’s ability to be in the majority, which will steamroll your 2A rights.

Nooo...I just re-upped!...sigh.

BTW anyone have any opinions on fthe Taurus Judge Public Defender? IIRC arround $400? Could my wife handle it? She has fired a rifle and a shotgun but really isn't into shooting, espeically small arms. However we're looking for something for her for self defense at the home when I'm not there.

Harry Reid is TOAST just like 219 of his associate like-minded vermin in the House of Representatives are TOAST.

Time to boycott the NRA

Why? The NRA objectively ranks all politicians based on where they stand on gun rights and policy.

This is why I dropped my NRA membership this year.... all of these NRA endorsed candidates voted for Obama-care, which will be the mechanism used to disarm America.

You CANNOT be a single issue voter-—these “pro-life” democrats should have taught us that...

The epitome of a politician in the worst sense, a whore. Which ever way the wind blows; no spine, no sense of virtue, no ideals other than pleasing the mob, a parasite. When America is in dire need of a statesman (Reagan) none are to be found in either party. We are in deep trouble, patriots in arms. We will need to search far and wide, and pray. America is at a crossroads that will be judged this come November. Paul Revere’s methods are in order; speak to all your relatives, all your co-workers, all your neighbors and all your friends about the serious troubles we face. It’s not too late, but the time is now.

***Time to boycott the NRA***

NO! they are the lightning rod between Soro’s millions to anti-gunners and us. Do YOU think you can influence Congress by yourself without NRA backing?

I agree on dumping Reid.

The NRA never seems to take these into account in their endorsements.

I don't believe that the Right to Life Committee takes the 2nd Amendment into account. Maybe because they are single interest groups.

Daffy Duck - I'm Just Wild About Harry

[from the Looney Tunes short "Yankee Doodle Daffy"]

I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me
The heavenly caresses of his kisses
Fills me with ecstasy
He's as sweet as chocolate candy
And just like honey from a bee
Oh I'm just wild about Harry
And he's just wild about
Cannot do without
He is from the south
Can't you hear me shout
Talking with my mouth
Could you ever doubt
He's just wild about me

The King of Giveaways can only hand out free donut holes?

That's Harry's version of "when life hands you a lemon, make lemonade." Trying to co opt the Tea Party folks.
