They do it to Rush, and any Repub/con they want to slam.
I remember when demonRAT Dingell from Michigan said the ATF was a bunch of jack-booted-thugs (which they, in fact, WERE). The the NRA picked up on it, and the left-wing media pinned it on the NRA.
That's when the current President's father, a RINO-of-sorts, and never a REAL supporter of the 2nd Amendment, used it as an excuse to resign his "lifetime" membership in the NRA.
We can probably expect the same from any of the current RINO's running for President, if they've just RECENTLY become NRA members in the name of POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY (RINO-romney comes to mind).
Obama is a Democrat.
