It is exactly how Protestants (and Catholics?) refused to deal with the Nazi’s.

We either strive together for freedom from tyranny or offer the door to those who want to placate the monster. harry reid is worthy of no mans endorsement who loves America and what we stand for.

The NRA?s lobbyist, Chris Cox, claims that Chuck Schumer would be Majority Leader were Harry Reid gone (note the NRA?s implicit expectation of a Democratic Senate majority). But here?s the thing ? Chuck Schumer could not get anti-gun legislation through the Senate and what?s more, Schumer, when head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, recognized the damage to the Democrats being anti-gun was having. Many of the Democrats in the Senate the NRA loves were people supported by Chuck Schumer.

So they have gone from denying they would endorse Harry Reid to ?not tamping down speculation.?

“Received from a colleague who has friends that work for the NRA (we both live in the Washington DC area).”

Let me help you flesh it out a bit. ….”who once knew a guy that heard from his sister-in-law who shot ducks in an arcade game that she was pretty sure that was what the kid said while bagging the groceries to the person ahead of her mother in line on Wednesday, or maybe it was this morning.” LOL

“As we discussed by phone a few minutes ago, it appears the NRA
does indeed plan to support Harry Reid’s re-election, its rationale
according to JK being that Shummer of NY would replace Reid, and Shummer is the greater 2nd Amendment threat. Of course there’s more behind the scenes, but, like you, if NRA supports Reid directly or indirectly, that would end my NRA membership once and for all. And you and I would be just the tip of the iceberg.”

You were too quick to judge the NRA. If you are wrong about the NRA endorsing Harry Reid, I am discontinuing my subscription to your MB newsletter.

Folks, you gotta call and be heard. Reid has almost 20 MILLION in the bank to pound Angle…You CAN’T ASSUME a Republican sweep in November…An NRA endorsement would hurt Angle badly…

Call NRA and be heard!!

Eric, as you may have guessed from readership and the CNN job, you’re a player now — someone who is to be used, when possible.

Do you ever worry about being made a dupe, Mr. Erickson? Do you suppose there may be people out there who are every bit as clever?

If you’re right on this, I’ll not renew my NRA membership (14903XXX) for whatever term Senator Reid corrupts principle, nor praise the NRA by name. And I’ll apologize.

And if you’re wrong …?

BTW: The primary problem, as pointed out, is not endorsement or single advocacy. The problem is putting politics before principle; the problem is regarding law as means.

Although the form (strength through unity and number) can be corrupted by men, the enduring part will live on, supported by other of the true principles.

In this case, it is particularly sad. The gun-guys only have to work with 27 words. You’d think such brevity would lend itself to understanding; that the single hot spark would ignite a greater enlightenment.

But let’s face it folks, the NRA and the AARP are both nothing more than huge fundraisers and mouthpieces for anyone who promises to cut them a deal. They are no longer principled organizations who give the small guy a voice.

The NRA is NOT representing their members if they endorse Reid and they should suffer the same loss of financial support and membership that the AARP did by supporting Obamacare.

THANKS, WALLY

But the NRA exists to promote one issue – gun rights. Their position is a conservative one, and most of the time that’s going to mean supporting the candidate who is more conservative overall. But they aren’t a conservative organization per se. And their strategy of supporting pro-gun incumbents of either party has worked very well for that purpose. I’d note this isn’t anything new – Bernie Sanders first got elected to Congress because the NRA went after the Republican incumbent for an anti-gun vote.

So contact the NRA for sure, but don’t stop there. Contact every 2nd Amendment organization you know.

It strains credulity, at the very least, to imagine that GOA is anything other than the Johnny-Come-Lately 2nd Amendment organization right now. And it’s making everyone on this blog who supports the last two SC decisions sound like a bunch of ingrates.

I’d like to ask, for example: Is Erick himself a gun owner? Has he ever been an NRA member? I mean, I received the issue of the American Rifleman in the mail — but Erick apparently had to be informed of it by other people. He’s in Macon, not Nevada. Is GOA active in Macon? I know the Friends of the NRA are active there. Has Erick ever been to one of their meetings?

Look at the left. The racial groups all support abortion. the anti-life groups all support gun controls, gun control groups all support the ACLU, the anti religion groups all support the peace groups and everyone supports the greenies.

Since I see a logical and moral connection between all the conservative positions I have no problem supporting them all but if gun control groups start focusing on gun control to the extent they ignore the importance of pro-life, lower spending, lower taxes, religious freedom, … the second amendment rights will be lost. In fact the second amendment is almost certainly the first to go (it’s almost gone now).

Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a non-profit lobbying organization formed in 1975 to preserve and defend the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. GOA sees firearms ownership as a freedom issue.

GOA was founded in 1975 by Sen. H.L. (Bill) Richardson (now retired). Richardson continues to serve as the Chairman of Gun Owners of America, bringing his many years of political experience to the leadership of GOA. Richardson is also an avid hunter and outdoorsman.

The GOA Board of Directors brings over 100 years of combined knowledge and experience on guns, legislation and politics. GOA’s Board is not satisfied with the “status quo.” Americans have lost some of our precious gun rights and WE WANT THEM BACK! This is why GOA is considered the “no compromise” gun lobby.

From state legislatures and city councils to the United States Congress and the White House, GOA represents the views of gun owners whenever their rights are threatened.

GOA has never wavered from its mission to defend the Second Amendment — liberty’s freedom teeth, as George Washington called it.

Over the last 30 years, GOA has built a nationwide network of attorneys to help fight court battles in almost every state in the nation to protect gun owner rights. GOA staff and attorneys have also worked with members of Congress, state legislators and local citizens to protect gun ranges and local gun clubs from closure by overzealous government anti-gun bureaucrats.

As an example, GOA fought for and won, the right of gun owners to sue and recover damages from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) for harassment and unlawful seizure of firearms.

Associated with GOA are: Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund, Gun Owners of California and Gun Owners Foundation.

Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is the political action arm of GOA. It raises funds to support the election of pro-gun candidates at all levels of government. GOA has a record of helping pro-gun candidates defeat anti-gunners in hundreds of races across the country over the past 30 years, and will continue to do so as long as our supporters provide the necessary financial resources.

Gun Owners of California operates solely within California, where it was also founded by Senator Richardson to address the pivotal gun issues arising in that state.

Gun Owners Foundation is a non-profit, tax-deductible education foundation. It is the research arm of GOA. Among the activities sponsored by GOF are seminars which inform the public, the media and government officials about key issues affecting the Second Amendment. GOF also publishes books and articles concerning gun issues as they affect people throughout the world.

Strength comes with numbers, and the more concerned Americans join Gun Owners of America, the more we can do to protect the Second Amendment and our freedom. We need you! Shouldn’t you become a member of Gun Owners of America?
