“..Look, the reason that the NRA can move legislation on this issue is because they focus on this one issue..”

Wrong! Read some of Cox’s editorials about freedom of speech issues. There are indirect issues that impact on gun rights and when a politician supports those issues with and indirect negative impact on gun rights, that politician should not be endorsed by NRA. If Chuck Schumer and Anthony Weiner were ardent supporters of gun rights but maintained their views on everything else, are you arguing that it would be okay to endorse them?

While I agree that NRA can impact elections like no other gun group, they do tend to be the RINOs of the gun right’s movement. Hawking Harry Reid at the Nevada range opening (I think it’s now closed) was STUPID! They are probably losing members right now because of that “one issue” stance and will continue to do so unless the Obamanation wins re-election (heaven forbid).

There is little chance of restrictive gun laws getting through Congress prior to 2012 elections. The biggest risk is executive fiats that the Socialist tries to impose, eg the dealer gun sales BS currently under consideration.

"The biggest risk is executive fiats that the Socialist tries to impose, eg the dealer gun sales BS currently under consideration."

And who is the one group that has smoked out some of these executive fiats? Like when the Obama administration was going to destroy all of the spent military brass instead of putting it up for re-sale? It was the NRA who alerted (Democrat) John Tester who fired off a letter to the administration and this was quickly repealed. Our second amendment freedoms protected. Who is the one group that is working with Congressmen on both sides of the aisle to get these surplus M-1s from Korea to be made available to the American markets? That would be the NRA. They don't just issue press releases, they go and get the job done. Thanks for making my point.
