Did The NRA Just Endorse Reid?

[gunflint]

I have been out of touch for a few days. I thought I just heard on the radio that the NRA has endorsed Harry Reid. Can anyone confirm this? If it is true then I will view the NRA with the same disdain that I view the AARP. However, before I fire off a go xxxx yourself forever email, I would like some independent confirmation.

I find it hard to beleive too, here is a link to a story on it.

Has anyone heard from Ted?

No endorsement yet in the Nevada Senatorial race - I would recommend contacting NRA ILA and informing them of your displeasure at the possibility...

They gave him a B rating in 2004.

I think I understand their thinking. It's like high stakes political gambling. Just get rid of the bastard. One less anti to worry about. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/39340.html

There was just an article in one of the NRA mag's about Reid securing funding for a monster shooting range outside of Vegas. We all know the drill, you get us money and you get our stamp of approval

The vote on Elena Kagan's confirmation to the Court, along with the previous year's confirmation vote on Sonia Sotomayor, are critical for the future of the Second Amendment. After careful consideration, the NRA-PVF announced today that it will not be endorsing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for re-election in the 2010 U.S. Senate race in Nevada.
