Why the NRA Supports Some Democrats

Fairfax, VA—In this election like never before some Conservative gun owners have criticized the National Rifle Association for supporting the campaigns of some Democrats.

I guess some people are not smart enough to understand that the NRA and its membership are all about the single issue of Gun Rights. The NRA asks politicians at every level of government to support and defend those rights. Democrats are usually weak and Republicans are usually strong for gun owners. Of course there are a minority of politicians from both sides that don’t always follow their party lines.

Having lobbied politicians for many years I have learned there are those Republicans that hate gun rights and will vote for every gun ban they possibly can. In addition there are those GOP pretenders that are just weak on this issue. On the other hand there are Democrats that have always supported gun rights.

The biggest current controversy is over NRA support for Nevada’s Harry Reid. Harry Reid is a nasty Leftist but he’s never hurt gun owners. His vote has always been on the right side of the gun issue. The NRA would be disloyal to come out in support of a new pro-Gun Rights Republican politician when Reid has always done what the NRA membership has asked him.

To demand that the NRA only support Republicans would be asking them to support Gun Rights haters like Meg Whitman, pretending to be a Conservative. Democrat and Leftist Jerry Brown who has always been decent in supporting Gun Rights, deserves the vote of Gun Rights advocates for that California’s Governor race. Meg Whitman would be a disaster for gun owners.

The NRA can’t afford to be fickle and disown their friends in the Democratic Party. On the other hand today’s GOP blindly supports plenty of pretenders who hate Gun Rights. The GOP has been infiltrated during the last four decades by Progressive Leftists and the long list of pathetic people they’ve supported for our nation’s highest office has been a disgrace. The GOP leadership is not just weak on Gun Rights but on nearly every Conservative issue.

I’d like to think that there are plenty of Gun Rights advocates out there that are smart enough to vote for the candidate that supports Gun Rights and all the other important Conservative issues. Harry Reid should be punished by Conservative voters because of his other political misdeeds, not over Gun Rights.

I think the GOP leadership has done much more damage to Gun Rights than gun owners realize. Gun owners would be better served venting their wrath on the Leftists inside the GOP leadership.

Spot on again.NRA single goal is to promote firearm safety and marksmanship and to protect the Second Amendment.

Most voters are single issue types and no politician can appease everyone on all issues.

Gun rights FIRST. I know some very liberal people who are spot on about the 2nd ammendment. A TRUE liberal would support the WHOLE bill of rights.

Sir,

You are wrong.

Harry Reid has NOT been a reliable supporter of the second amendment.

He voted FOR Sotomayor and Kagan. He does not deserve the support of ANY gun owner.

I'm no fan of Reid but on all simple gun rights votes he's delivered. He has also supported many gun hating politicians. I still understand the logic of the NRA. I hope to see Reid Retired and replaced by a liberty loving Conservative.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
