This is the problem with single issue groups and voters. You have to look at the whole candidate and not just your pet issue.

Couple of things. First, the NRA supposedly is solely about RTKBA. Although this should rule out any Democrat, Reid has a decent record on voting for RTKBA, although his party is the only major party trying to destroy that right.
Second, most of the guys that are serious about gun ownership whom I know insist that the NRA is not serious about RTBA, but has been infiltrated by the flakes who want "sensible gun legislation."
That said, yeah, they're endorsing Reid, and they can forget about my contributions.

They are single issue. I suppose Reid has stood with them in the past, so they are obliging.
On top of that the NRA probably finds it is good policy to support at least a couple of DIMS, so they can not be accused of being single party and loose some legal status of some sort.

Yeah, ditto. Last couple of months, I have been thinking of rejoining, after several years absence from the NRA. This decides me against it.
To: Welshman007
Withholding my renewal for now. Maybe again someday when they come to their senses!
To: Welshman007
Glad I tossed their solicitation in the trash last week.

Reid is a toad, but he has been supportive of Gun Rights and events that he feels are convenient for his political life style. About 6 months ago the Clark County Nevada recreation department opened a large “shooting Park” that never would have been opened without Reid's influence. The NRA helped organize this shooting facility with the aid of Reid, so they are tied at the hip on this situation. Plus there might have been some “back room deal” with Reid to keep new gun legislation off the table. I think that is the answer to this story.

Not a real Democrat, I know, but if the "inspectors" are sitting there claiming all that matters is the letter after the name, then they're stuck with that mode of analysis, too.

First, the NRA supposedly is solely about RTKBAThat is not true. But without the RTKBA, they wouldn't have much else to do.
