NRA Endorses 14 House Democrats Over Republicans

flowerforyou

"The NRA has earned a reputation over the decades as a pro-gun advocacy group that's solidly in the Republican camp.

But in what will no doubt come as a surprise to many, the organization is endorsing 14 House Democrats in close races because their Second Amendment views line up with the with those of the gun-rights group.

It's an unwelcome move as far as Republicans are concerned. They've come to take NRA endorsements of their candidates as a given.

The Washington Post reports the NRA's policy in recent years is to support incumbents when their positions on gun rights are similar to the NRA's and their challengers.

That approach favors more than a dozen Democrats in tough races this year, according to the WaPo."

good...the NRA should endorse anyone that wants us to keep our gun rights intact... maybe some liberals are starting to understand that now...

No one is challenging anyone's rights to bear arms...that's a myth used by the Cons (to lie for votes)...like that isn't their M.O. now...

Liars!
