“I’m guessing you’re not a member of the NRA, never read who they endorsed/did not endorse last year and are speaking out of ignorance. Educate yourself before making false statements and bashing the NRA.”

Former member here. Membership expired in Jan. The Keene statement speaks for itself. I also have my copy of the American Rifleman where Chris Cox defends the NRA support of sleazy Dems. Agree they didn’t endorse Reid, but they didn’t endorse Angle either. Like the AARP, they are becoming too political, in the wrong way, ie “go along to get along.”

Yes, I was upset that they didn't support Angle over Reid. I mention that in one of my posts in this thread. As for the support of Dems. I agree with Cox and remember the article he wrote. Look, the reason that the NRA can move legislation on this issue is because they focus on this one issue. They get support from both sides. If they were only a schill for the Republican party, then Dems would feel free to vote against our 2nd amendment rights. We would have had an assault weapons ban enacted in the last Congress, magazine restictions et al. Instead, the Dems fear the second amendment and certain of them go out of their way to support our causes to get that endorsement.

I've never said that the NRA is the panacea for all things conservative. They are for the 2nd amendment. Look, everyone was cheering on the Small Business Association for taking on Obamacare, did you know they supported amnesty for illegals? A lot of these groups don't line up with everything we believe in. They usually only concentrate on one or two things. It's just that the NRA gets bashed for not being the conservative answer on everything.
