People on the left have often attacked the NRA for taking extreme, uncompromising positions on gun control. But, according to Redstate, the NRA is about to put that argument to rest once and for all.
By endorsing Harry Reid:
Reid has a lifetime rating of “F” from Gun Owners of America (who Ron Paul once called “the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington”). GOA is actively supporting the 100% pro-gun Republican nominee, Sharron Angle, in her campaign to unseat Harry Reid.
But money talks:
Well, I thought perhaps the NRA carveout in the DISCLOSE Act might be the answer. But, there is more. It turns out, Reid secured a $61 million earmark for a gun range in Clark County, Nevada.
So let’s not hear any more talk about the NRA being unbending on the issue of gun control. It apparently responds to handouts and earmarks just like any other special interest group. First the money, then the principle.
