Maybe theres a lot going on at that shootin ranch...uh i mean range...(its Nevada ya know)
This is nothing new. Same NRA. They have CONSISTENTLY endorsed Reid and MANY other Democrats and OTHERWISE LEFTIST PROGRESSIVES for a very long time. You’ve just been SNOOKERED by them — UNTIL NOW.
They will most likely endorse Harry again (they just gave him a 2nd Amendment AWARD this SPRING in Las Vegas after all!), and ALL you good NRA members will have contributed YOUR membership dues to HIS campaign for reelection. Congratulations!
OR, you could IMMEDIATELY demand a prorated REFUND of your dues, and then join a REAL 2nd Amendment defense organization like Gun Owners of America or Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
Ya better get REAL instead of relying on the used-to-bes of the NRA. Don’t let them re-elect Harry Reid with YOUR $$.

I remember that 3 page spread in the American Shooter magazine...if I remember correctly, he did not earmark the money for the range, but he lifted the roadblocks to ALLOW the State of Nevada to purchase the land for the range from the federal government, at a value of $61 million.
I’m no defender of Reid...not by a LONG SHOT. But I think that’s the way it played out. I might be wrong...I’ll see if I can dig up that particular magazine. I WAS pretty disgusted with the spread they did on Reid. Not a good way for a new NRA membership to start out, eh?
The NRA will cease to exist, if they really endorse Harry. Non-leftist members of the NRA won’t tolerate it.
Those reply emails from the NRA sound like they are in love with Harry Reid. I can’t believe it. Hope the NRA phone lines stay bombarded with upset members.
I thought Nevada was one of the most gun-friendly states.
I will probably be moving to Reno for my next contract
and hope theres nothing like this in the counties around Reno..
I lived in Nye for a short while. I don’t remember any rules.
They better get this crap straightened out ASAP before they destroy the membership support for that organization.
Have they been infiltrated?
Remember the Communist Gramsci and his "long march through the institutions"? He was talking about subversion. About Trojan horses, defections in place, Judas goats, turncoats and Quislings who would betray people and do dirty deals in the dark to bring the Communists what they want.
Consumers Union (Consumer Reports), AARP, and the AMA are now joined by the NRA in the landslide of institutional NGO's suddenly cascading into the Communist/Alinskyite camp.
It's payoff time.
Question: What possibility Chris Cox of NRA is a mole? Gay? A turncoat? A gay Mau-Mau turncoat pinko, like Jerry Falwell's and Bob Dornan's chiefs of staff who suddenly announced to their victim/principal/boss one day: "I'm gay, please be a human being, drop your moral objections to gayness, and come over to the Dark Side"? Both Falwell and Rep. Dornan were suddenly importuned by their close friends/co-workers to clutch the knees of PFLAG and go publicly Gay Friendly. "I've done so much for you!"
Dick Cheney got that, too -- the HRC slugs were after Mary Cheney for six or seven years before she finally signed up with their propaganda campaign -- and so did Newt. No sooner than homopolitics get big, than Candace Gingrich, with her ugly-ass soupbowl "I'M LESBIAN!!!" haircut came storming out of the closet for ambush photo-ops with her dear brother.
If that's true, then there is a cabal of Judases inside the NRA.
“If that’s true, then there is a cabal of Judases inside the NRA.....”
Of course there is. The ‘free money” Bernancke prints is “invested” by the Oligarchy to extend their power. The NRA was a thorn in their side for decades. It was a good investment for them.
However, when the NRA did their deal with Chuck Schumer on his DISCLOSE Act bill, I sent something about it to an NRA member and promptly got back his forward of a similar letter from NRA-ILA to members about DISCLOSE. The member had read the preamble of the letter and inferred that NRA had done no such benighted deal.
I referred to the text of the letter, quoted two incriminating 'grafs that showed clearly that they had indeed walked away from First Amendment supporters and NGO's to do a deal with Chuck that would allow him to court the key "blue dog" Dims that he needed to get a 'Rat-only majority in the Senate for his bill. I showed my friend that indeed NRA had done an operational compromise with The Enemy on a bill that would skin an article of the Bill of Rights.
I haven't heard back from him.
whooda thunk NRA’d go PINKO?!
Time to withdraw support from the NRA. They have gotten lost in the wilderness. I don’t suppose they noticed the other day that LIBERAL justices said there is no right to bear arms. (They lost, but that was their position.)
Therefore, any policy that looks only at the individual politician and not also at the party they support is terribly misguided and ultimately sure to deprive Americans of their right to self-defense.
Reid helped confim Sotomayor to the bench recently. I’m not under the impression that he’s favorable toward gun-rights justices. And he is now trying to help ram through another gun-grabbing judge — Kagan. If the NRA is this bass-ackwards, they deserve a major boycott of contributions. People can give to Angle instead.
Conspicuous by their absence on this thread are certain of our own NRA apologists - well-intentioned, longtime Freepers and dedicated "shooters" by all accounts, but who have been reduced to name-calling and personal attacks within the last couple of weeks.
Right now my NRA renewal is sitting in my stack of stuff, and "I have no plans" to do anything with it, especially after the last scripted telemarketing call trying to persuade me to renew it. After the news of the last few days I'm thinking I'll donate to FR and make a contribution to Sharron Angle - and get a lifetime membership in GOA. As PKM points out, GOA became very popular around here after the NRA turned on Senator Coburn they way they did to favor a, uh, shall we say very "metro" young Democrat from the "Custom Engraved Weatherby OverUnder" crowd. Same thing they did in PA with Toomey and Snarlin' Arlen.
This is really really really bad timing on the NRA's part - not that they haven't been totally craven for several years now, but if they need to have the reality of "right now" explained to them they're either not in the game or they're playing the DC game.
Screw 'em. Somewhere around here there's a picture of Wayne and a couple of yokels sucking up to Reid at his new shooting range. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
Didja see this?

Didja hear zero talking yesterday about searching all SOUTHBOUND trains going to Mexico, but not saying what was being searched for?
Guess what Zero's gonna use as a pretext for his next offensive on gun control AND for amnesty?
Care to place any bets as to where the NRA will stand when he does?
National Review called it “Sullivan’s Law”: Any group not set up as a conservative organization eventually becomes a liberal organization. NRA can’t be conservative if it is a single-issue lobby.
Robert Kerans was a conservative challenger in central Illinois running against an across-the-board lib incumbent Congressman Bruce-with an ACU rating of 4 (out of 100). Guess who the NRA endorsed?
Is Oklahoma Democrat congressman Dan Boren on the NRA Board of Directors or not?
======================
Are there any other known Dem operatives on the NRA board?
