There is also another piece on this here: Is endorsing Reid on the NRA's calendar?
Bottom line: This issue is nowhere as clear-cut as we'd like. And the NRA hasn't done anything yet, so stop jumping to conclusions.
Apparently, the NRA HQ is underwater.
What the Hell?
Thats because the NRA supports Washington insiders. If the 2nd amendment isn’t under threat they can’t get the money comin in to fight it. Must have a crisis.
This would raise the hair on my neck. Cant believe this is even a discussion. Is Wayne LaPierre (sp) still the Pres. of NRA? and who makes the decision to support candidates, their members right????
This is rumor and speculation, not news.
I dropped my membership to the NRA...it’s not my fathers organization any longer.
Not only the endorsement thing, heck there like a retail merchandising outlet these days.
Hordes of letters and solicitations.
Hey NRA, go back to your roots and stop all the nonsense.
If the NRA endorses Reid they will find themselves very very lonely.
I do NOT believe it.
I WILL find out, and if I find out the NRA is opposing my personal political Conservative perspectives, I will tell the NRA to KMA after over twenty years of membership.
Anybody have a link that states positively such a direction exists at the NRA? I’d like to have that too.
I just went to the site and posted an email to them.

This would cause them to lose membership big-time in my view.
Worry about Reid’s successor later, get rid of this scumbag Reid first!
?
Dang it! It is not the Tea Party! It is the TEA Party. TEA is an acronym for crying out loud! It stands for Taxed Enough Already.
I don’t know if it is intentional or just ignorance that causes people to call it the Tea Party.

The NRA is officially neutral on all issues that do not pertain to the right to bear arms. A candidate could be a left wing liberal on every issue except gun control and theoretically get an NRA endorsement if they were pro gun.Well that just shows you how blitheringly stupid they are, if they think a commie spouting "gun rights" is as believable on the subject as a person who supports the US Constitution in general and the second amendment in particular.
The Black Panthers support gun rights. Let's all freaking endorse the Black Panthers!
(How far up the butt can one person's head actually go?)
All national organizations are suspect. They are all run by cotton-headed "professionals"... careerists... people, that is, who don't give a rat's patoot about the issues themselves.
Why don’t you wait and see if the NRA actually endorses Reid instead of repeating this rumor again and again?
I have written them every day for the past week and a half, referring to my previous letters ... basically asking them if this was “true or false.” Silence. Deathly silence. Oh me, ... well that’s one bill may not have to pay next year when my annual membership comes due. (See, there’s always a bright side!)
This is why I have never joined or donated to the NRA...
First The Killers at Reid’s event last week and now this. Surely the world is topsy-turvy. * sigh *
If they end up endorsing Reid, they will lose this member.
If Harry Reid votes to confirm the gun-grabbing Kagan, the NRA will lose all credibility, if it hasn’t lost it already.
