NRA donates $50 shy of MAXIMUM contribution amount to Reid.

Like GOA Teaming up with moveon.org?

Do realize you come across like a total ignoramus when you post something like that?

You are one of the people Rush Limbaugh is talking about when referring to one liners, you must be employed by the infamous drive by media.

So what about the GOA and moveon.org? Do they just get a free pass or something? Heck I understand the NRA donation better then the reasoning behind a alliance with the moveon.org folks.

I still hold to the old idea that once attacks get personal then nobody wins. Please stay above calling people names just because you don't agree with them.

Just when everyone thinks they're scrubs they do this:
NRA-ILA :: NRA CHALLENGES CONSTITUTIONALITY OF FEDERAL HANDGUN BAN FOR LAW ABIDING 18-20 YEAR OLDS

As a geezer it doesn't affect me directly, but hope it works out.

I have already posted this in another thread, but i think it's worth repeating here. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...wn_republican_dreams_to_win_back_house-2.html


I think everyone needs to look a little deeper as to why the NRA is supporting Reid. Reid is currently the majority leader of the senate. If he is defeated and the GOP doesn't take the majority in the senate (the GOP should take the house with ease, but the senate is probably a long shot).....who will be the next majority leader of the senate? Answer- Chuck Schumer who is one of the most anti-gun, anti-2A people walking the planet. Yes, most of us don't like the fact that Reid supported all of Obama's agenda, but he is pro-gun/pro-2A. So the question is: If the Dems remain in control of the senate after the election, who would you rather see as the majority leader, Harry Reid or Charles Schumer? I believe this is the angle or the reason that the NRA is supporting Reid. Remember, the NRA is a single-issue organization.

Again, the NRA is about guns. That's it. Nothing else.

Harry Reid is THE reason there has not been an assault weapon ban introduced since Obama took office. Whatever else Reid has been, and I think he's a massive butt zit, he is very pro-2A.

If the NRA fails to recognize and reward that in legislators, regardless of party, they will lose their voice. They swing a club of votes and money, but if it's just a one way club they will be ignored. Their job isn't health care, it isn't bailouts, it's gun rights, and Harry Reid is far more often than not on the right side of that one issue.

The two posters above, give it up. The "it's better to go down gloriously in the flames of political purity rather than give an inch and remain in the fight" crowd is in full idiot orgy mode. It's much better to lose everything than to hold the fort, isn't it? No, well sorry, you're not going to convince those who want to cut off their nose to spite their face.

First of all...I'm only stating why I think the NRA is supporting Reid. The under lying reason or strategy behind it. I'm not trying to convince anyone to support Reid or the NRA for supporting Reid. I personally don't agree with it (NRA supporting Reid) and I dislike Reid just as much as anyone.

One reason they 'might' have is because Reid worked and got a GIANT gun range built in his state. I was amazed that a DEM done that.

Can you provide some examples of how Reid helped gun-rights, or blocked an anti-gun bill? Does he have the spine to oppose Obama and the rest of the Democrats?

Being serious. I took Harry Reid to be a socialist, collectivist, government-loving pr*ck. I don't see how gun rights could be safe with a liberty-hating statist in power. He has proved to have no regard for the Constitution, I wouldn't trust him for a second to protect my rights.

I would rather the NRA remain silent in cases like these, rather than **** away their credibility by helping scum like Reid retain power.

It just bothers me that the NRA can afford a Million dollar a year CEO with our contributions.

Remember when Obama first took office, with Pelosi running the House, Reid running the Senate, and Rahm and his other seriously anti-gun cronies salivating at the thought of being able to get another, expanded assault weapon ban passed through the Congress they controlled both chambers of?

Only one man could stop it, and that one man did. Harry Reid said flat out there would be no assault weapon ban going through the Senate. Had he not stood up to Obama, that one time, we would either be at war, or lamenting the guns we used to own.

I'm no fan of Harry Reid, but in this one instance he stood up for the Constitution. He has done so in the past re: the 2A, also. Not a perfect record, but a strong one.

IF the Dems retain control of the Senate, we have the choice of two people running it. Harry Reid who, no matter what his other ideals has kept gun control off of Obama's list of "accomplishments," or Chuck Schumer, who will do everything he can to take take 'em all. If the Republicans win, the NRA can be fairly confident that they will have friends running the Senate, even if rookie Angle is disappointed in them. If the Dems win, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid needs to know that when the NRA asks for his support, he will have theirs when it counts. And we NEED Harry Reid running the Senate if the Dems win.

I'm gonna go wash my mouth out with soap for that last sentence, but it's true in the real world of Washington politics.
