This is just NewsMax stirring the sh*t...
Hopefully
There is nothing to worry about. The NRA will endorse George W. Bush. I am quite certain of it.
"Although a push from President Bush would get a renewal before lawmakers – a majority of whom would probably approve it – the president, who supports the renewal of the ban, has been thunderously silent. "
What a lie. Maybe they mean Senate, but no way in the House.
this is kinda silly. Kerry has one of the most anti-gun records in the senate.
I am an NRA member and I receive the magazine " First Freedom " monthly. Read this months issue. Believe me, the NRA will endorse President Bush. They have been absolutely hammering Kerry.
Well maybe the NRA would settle for a Kerry bullet ban instead of Bush.
Just posturing. I don't believe a word of this.
But it still begs the question, why no endorsement of Bush 41 in 1992 or Dole (I can basically understand this one)?
Go ahead, support Kerry, NRA guys. Get Kerry elected.
If they don't support Bush, and Kerry wins, I will personally send them an e-mail reading "You helped give us this jerk, so shut the *&^$& up" every time the NRA complains about Kerry.
Newsmax must have gotten tired of re-writing NY Post articles and claiming FR discoveries as "Exclusives."
I like the NRA holding their fire. I certainly hope they don't endorse him before they are certain about the AWB.
Time to use other Gun Rights groups...an stop sending money to the NRA. For the past several years....they have been way too much into games. The NRA lobby folks are more afraid of losing their seats at high dollar dinners and DC social events than anything else.
Way too often they play games...and the overall result is they end up losing on a gun issue...when less games would have protected our rights more.
Do you really want to get the NRA to get back to work....
Tell them that they will no see another dime...unless they quit backed dems who have stabbed them in the back and switched votes at Zero hour.
Bush signed an import ban on certain guns via executive fiat. Once out of office, he resigned his NRA membership.
After the Republican landslide in 1994, the House voted to repeal the AWB. Dole, the Senate Majority leader, did not allow it to come up for a vote in the Senate. I think Dole has stabbed us in the back other times also, but can't remember the specifics.
no way. the NRA is no more likely to endorse jauques kerry than NARAL is going to endorse W.
There will be no further membership in the NRA if they do not endorse the President.
Nahh...the NRA will endorse that famous belly-crawling, shotgun-toting deer hunter, John F. Kerry.
It all comes down to the AWB. If Bush signs it, I'd expect the NRA to give support to neither candidate.
"There will be no further membership in the NRA if they do not endorse the President."
...and there will be no endorsement of the president if he extends the AWB. Ain't it funny how conditional approval works?
