I remember reading in an NRA publication about Holder & am perplexed that they are not fighting his nomination other than in a letter. I am a life member & they will hear from me regarding this. whatever, however I’m not happy with this.

If everything that can be done to stop Holder from becoming Attorney General is not done there will be absolutely no point in contributing to NRA or NRA-ILA. And, I shouldn't even have to explain why. OPPOSE ERIC HOLDER PUBLICLY AND VIGOROUSLY or you can likely kiss a whole lot of us good bye.

The NRA News site also streams in-studio video of the show. I have a feeling Cam may have a few questions asked of him regarding "this little problem". You can ask Cam questions via I/M or e-mail.

It's faulty thinking because it assumes the battle ends when we win. That's not true at all. Just ask NARAL.

Heck, I bet they're hoping that Obama and the Congressional Dems push for whole bunch of new gun control legislation. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the NRA leadership was secretly happy to have a bunch of new gun control legislation pass - because it would certainly increase their membership numbers. Personally, I think most political action committees are run be people that don't want to win, because then what do they do. They just want to keep the fight going on for a long as possible. so cynical but I think the NRA would love to have a pro gun-control AG.

Would they not have had more credibility if they didn't endorse at all. I would like to think they endorsed McCain only because of all the fears they had with Obama and the majority anti-gun Liberals in Congress. Seems that breaking their own rules for qualification for endorsement, was their move to the center, and then some Do we have any organizations that used to be reliably Republican left?

Turns out I'm not the only Jewish civillian in the country with a big ol bang-stick and other toys that go boom. ;) GOA was a given as I was going to join on “coronation day” anyway as one of the ways to remember the day freedom died in the USA.

Isn't it something on the order of how Conservative Organizations "rank" votes? If so, and some Democrat Senator, or Representative, wishes to be on the positive side of the NRA 'score', isn't that a more powerful influence then caving and not scoring at all? Or is this whole thing just more of the corruption that seems to afflict everyone and everything in D C? Do I misunderstand the “scoring” thing?

I reluctantly renewed my NRA memebership earlier this year - never again. I just have joined GOA because they have proven to be the <i>real</i> 2A advocates (along with JFPO). Nra has become just another flaccid, inside-the-beltway, self serving, coctail party going fraternity. I am calling again 1st thing tomorrow (8:30) to withdraw my membership (they were closed tonight - 5 pm ya' know...). pffffttt They are done.

But I always believed that the mental image of Charleston Heston, holding that long rifle in the air and clearly articulating what I believed....well that's what I thought the NRA was. Apparently not. Sure hope that the GOA will be that which I and the Nation need, and never trades core values for political expediency. They get my $$ for the continuing 2nd Amendment fight. A fight we should never, as Americans, even have had to get involved in, and absolutely cannot afford to lose. Organizations.

The only thing I can think of to justify their current actions is assuming that any appointment made will be problematic and they're merely picking their battles.

Look on the bright side, at least this way, maybe Obama will stop referring to gun owners as "hunting sportsmen". That really irritated me a lot. I don't own a single handgun, but I would never dream of taking away God-given right to own a single gun for self-defense, hunting, or recreational purposes. Never. That's just so...un-American!
