Multiple sources tell me the National Rifle Association is planning to endorse liberal Harry Reid against pro-gun champion Sharron Angle.
Two weeks ago, I told you about the carveout the NRA received in exchange for their support for the DISCLOSE ACT deal.
Then this week, RedState broke the story of the “gag order” the NRA issued to members of its Board on the Kagan nomination.
Now, I’m getting credible reports that the NRA is leaning toward endorsing Harry Reid, even though the NRA is finally saying it will score a vote on Kagan — something that was not a sure thing.
Why would they do this? Why would they go out of their way to protect a Senator who has demonstrated a repeated hostility to the Second Amendment in his votes and his leadership?
Well, I thought perhaps the NRA carveout in the DISCLOSE Act might be the answer. But, there is more. It turns out, Reid secured a $61 million earmark for a gun range in Clark County, Nevada.

bad move.....no gun range is worth being associated with this loser....take the money, forget the endorsement...politicians do it all the time.
Whores.
No No No!!! I don’t care about some possible $61Mill earmark. This man is a menace to the 2nd Amendment. period.
I had always thought of the NRA as a group that stood by its principles. If we lose the NRA, what's left?

I said bye-bye to the NRA two years ago.
I hope if this happens NRA members will leave the organization in droves and join with GOA instead.
gun owners of america. i’ll switch my membership
“Multiple” (but unnamed) “sources” giving “credible reports”, eh?
I think I’ll wait for something more solid than that before I freak out. Thanks.
Is this for real? If so, and the NRA actually does come out and endorse Reid, they have signed their own death warrant.
The NRA can go down with Harry Reid.
surreal..... they only seem interested in supporting the status quo so they can keep their easy lifestyle.
Screw the NRA
“Whores.”
Exactly. Let’s not forget the NRA in the past has also supported amnesty and has pro amnesty board members.
[snip]The “twitching dogs” who dragged down Simpson’s initiative last year are Capitol heavyweights whose coalition on immigration falls into the unlikely bedfellows category. Among them: the National Federation of Independent Business, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Rifle Association, the Catholic church, the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Bar Association and even some labor unions.
Grover Norquist, a social conservative and anti-tax Republican lobbyist, reveled unapologetically in the tactics he used to undermine the verification initiative and to mock Simpson personally.

Find out what the NRA Board has been drinking.. I want a CASE!!!
Me too. Wayne L. and the NRA endorsing the head of the gun-hating party
is like Foghorn Leghorn getting all the hens to vote for Colonel Sanders.
Big mistake that they will live to regret...
We joined AARP three years ago to get a discount on a trip to Ireland. Our membership expired now, and we'll never join again, even for a discount on a big trip.
What has happened to the leadership of NRA?
Inquiring minds want to know.
