The NRA should publicly water board Reid on his gun views before giving an endorsement.
NRA’s Wayne LaPierre ???????
Dingy Harry obviously does not shoot any better than he votes. Bye Bye Harry, you'll be voted out of office in November.
Don’t worry...certain Freepers will be along shortly to extol the virtues of the NRA ...grrrr. I’ve said for years that the NRA will sell it’s soul keep the donations flowing to pay for it’s “big glass castle” in Fairfax.
Some years ago I made a run for the Texas legislature. The fellow I ran against had voted against the Texas concealed carry law three separate times but who did they endorse. My opponent of course! I told them where to stick my life membership at that point and went to GOA.
DON’T JUST SIT THERE, CONTACT THE NRA!
NRA is just another AARP?????
The problem here is not the NRA, Wayne LaPierre or Harry Reid. The problem is a system where federal dollars are used to construct a local park.
If you want a shooting park, go raise the money and build it....don’t ask Washington for an earmark using my money that I was saving to build my own shooting park!
Who expects me to believe that Reid isn't a venal whore who will sell out on any issue to remain in office?
Who expects me to believe that gun control is not on the list of agenda items for Reid, probably right after amnesty?
"Gun control" defined, of course, as disarming as many people as possible except for Reid and his ilk with their borrowed skeet guns.
Reid is engaging in political gimmickry. He’s not a friend of the gunowner, this is just a political stunt to get re-elected because he’s unpopular outside of Reno and Vegas.
HARR REID the ULTRA LEFTIST GUN HATER WENT TO A SHOOTING RANGE (THAT HE APPROPRIATED MONEY FOR) AND SHOT A FIREARM-HIS OWN PERSONAL SHOTGUN. (he is encouraging a behavior that he otherwise detests etc.)LIAR LIAR
The liberals should be wailing and gnashing their teeth, not us.
We should be publicizing this to show what a liar and arses the corrupt leftists are.
The NRA knows how the game is played. Either you play the game or you get absolutely nothing done.
Other pro-gun group may talk the ideological talk, but I seldom see much of a walk (action, not just rhetoric).
Join both groups, work to get them all in the same mode-educating Americans about their birthrights.

Good old Wayne. Has always rolled over and said thank you after being raped
Dude, Way to go. You, as a conservative can accomplish more to divide the shooting public than the radical progressives can. Just keep parroting that line and they will win this struggle.
How about this as an option: encourage NRA members to vote for a board of directors who will change the NRA hierarchy. As a professional gunsmith and gunstore owner, I have a LOT of skin in this. I am a NRA life member and also contribute to other gun-rights orgs.
Look at it like the GOP. Do you propose a 3rd party at this point, or do you support changing the GOP from within? These are long term issues that will not change overnight and will not change by DIVIDING those who want the same thing, which in this case is a properly respected 2nd Amendment to the Constitution.
Come on, work together to change this and stop dividing. I despise that POS Reid and want him unemployed as much as the next sane person. However, attacking the NRA is not the way to accomplish that.
The Obamareich will need the NRA’s membership list to facilitate the Great Confiscation.
NRA does not sell us out. Yep, they support a**hats like Reid, because they are a guns rights group and only look at that part of a candidates record. This means that NRA members are going to have to make changes within the leadership of the NRA, not to abandon it. The NRA is all that has stood between us and total take over of our guns. If it ever dies, so do we.
The NRA is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. Is it sometimes too timid? Yes. Does it support some scumbags like Reid who have a good record on Second Amendment rights but have a dismal record on all other civil rights? Yes
On balance the NRA does more good than bad and deserves our support. Other smaller but more conservative civil rights groups deserve our support as well.
Gun Owners of America,
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership,
the Second Amendment Foundation,
Second Amendment Sisters (Which started right here on FR and produced the Armed Informed Mother’s March counter to the so-called Million Mom March)
are some of the best civil rights groups out there.
We should belong to the NRA and at least two of these groups as well.
When indeed.
Certain FReepers have been accused of NRA-bashing for as long as I can remember, yet the accusers always seem to find excuses for the compromises sellouts that typify the NRA.
Delving into the archives, this posting is just one example -- and there are plenty more. (Old-timers may recognize some FR handles on this thread, some of whom have stuck around and others who departed the forum.)
Another site worth investigating to learn more about the nation's largest and most well-funded gun control organization is NRAWOL, and the domain name pretty much says it all.
Hey Wayne, Harry is the enemy.
