"NRA lost me when they endorsed Reid."

They must have never had you. They never endorsed Reid, ever. In the last election, they did make me mad because Reid had a B rating and Sharon Angle had an A rating and they decided not to endorse either of them. I still have my October Issue of America's First Freedom with the ratings/endorsements.

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.

The NRA is more concerned with keeping the gun rights issue alive and not ending it. It is about the money and keeping up with the Beltway crowd more than actually winning the gun rights issue.

The NRA activly attacked the Heller case in DC by attempting to discredit the Heller lawyers, with holding support and on several occasions the NRA Staff lawyers openly made statements the Heller case was “legally and judicially flawed”. The best part is the NRA filed an Ammicus Brief after the allowed time for submittal. Only after the case was “won” with out any active NRA support, the NRA co-opted the win. Just like any good Democrat instituion..... Look at Social Security..... The Demoncrats claim the Republicans are “stealing” it, when in fact history points to the Demoncrats are the real theifs.... So Saul Alinsky... just like the NRA when it comes to gun rights.

If what you say is true, you could have corrected me without being a rude a$$hole.

I have been a lifetime member for what seems like forever. I’ve read several threads about how the NRA was endorsing Reid right here on FR.

Granted, I could have verified it one way or the other, but there were so many mentions by tenured FReepers it never occurred to me to bother to check. While I have been a paying member, I seldom read their stuff.... no particular, I just don’t.

There are other references, but you can find someone else to do the labor.

Having now completed a very limited search on the net, it appears that the NAR had certainly considered it, but backed out after all the heat.
I guess I never read about their change in public position.

All of that aside, it seems that you are most likely in agreement of their support of Romney.

Although I don’t know it to be true, I do wonder if you intend to vote for Romney, sport.

“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.”
