NRA: No Endorsement for Reid

[Kirk Freeman]

I know this has been a concern to INGO members but the rumor spewed upon the Intertubes about the National Rifle Association's intent to endorse Senator Harry Reid is now confirmed as false.

From the tone of their press release it appears that the NRA is widening their scope of what they consider to be essential gun votes. That is good to see. I suspect that there will be other Senators & Representatives who have enjoyed prior election support from the NRA, but who lose their endorsements this year.

The NRA is still a single issue lobby, as it should be, but it seems to be taking other aspects that are somewhat related to guns into account this year.

From the tone of their press release it sounds like they have caved to pressure from gun owners and starting to act like a pro-gun organization! This is definitely a good back peddle!

About friggin time!

They keep acting like this and I may join back up... even with the decades of back stabbing, if they want to be pro-gun, I'll support them again.

Hopefully this isn't a case of a stopped clock being right twice a day. It's going to be interesting to see who they endorse in the Indiana senate race, Coats have NEVER voted progun. IMO they have to be silent or endorse Sink-Burris, but I can't recall the last time the NRA endorsed a Libertarian.

Scut, it's a press release!

So, why aren't they endorsing his A rated opponent in the race? They've already donated money to Reid, what's going on?

Side note :
The NRA does not give out a questioner for candidates UNLESS they are a REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT .

They will NOT give out a rating to a LIBERTARIAN ... they cite space constraints in their publications including their internet site .
I laughed at him when he told me that .... they will not even give a questioner / rating to a federal candidate . IE Rebecca Sink Burris

They restrict so you can't decide .
Thanks

Duncan,
I'm going to send Rebecca a copy of the Gun Rights Questionnaire in the next week. I'll be happy to post her reply here and forward her answers to the Gun Rights Examiner a well.
