Rachel Maddow - NRA exposed for putting Republican agenda ahead of gun agenda

1. I was a member of the NRA for years and finally

got disgusted with them and quit about 25 years ago. I support the 2nd amendment but I think there should be stricter gun laws. The NRA is simply just a Republican super pac.

2. It's true. And it's painfully obvious to a lot of their members.

I know a LOT of people at the range that USED to be NRA members.

3. I refused to join one gun club because they required you to join the NRA, so

far the one I belong to doesn't have that requirement.

4. I was also an NRA member in my youth.

I was on a couple of rifle teams, shot competitively, and NRA membership was required for the team at my school. My coach just signed me up and handed me a card, thought it was pretty cool at the time, felt it made me "official." But it is no longer my, nor my father's, NRA.

5. so true

my dad a big hunter was a member for years and stop about 15 years ago because they kept telling him to vote Republican. Sending BS in the mail.

6. I'll going to get flamed, but I trust Romney not to pass gun control bills more than I trust Obama

Obama has said that he is against assult weapons, and I think if he could get the votes in the house (which he won't for at least 2 years), he would try to pass an assult weapons ban.

Regardless of how Romney feels, I don't think he is going to pass any major gun control laws, since he would loose a lot of support if he did (and he would need to run for reelection, Obama won't.). So I trust Romney more than Obama on this issue, but I'm not a single issue voter.

8. Yup Obama just might (like in a million years) pass Assault Weapons regulations

Every good hunter needs an Assault Weapon that is NOT regulated.

Because in the last 4 years Obama hasn't passed any regulations on firearms, but you never know.

9. It's not just the presidential race.

The NRA works to undermine candidates at national, state and local levels. If legislation never reaches the executive level then the NRA has reached their objective.

7. Something else to drive your Gun loven friends crazy

10. Yup, she's right.

I don't trust Romney or Obama on gun rights. At least we can say that the GOP party platform is not anti-gun, as the Democratic party platform is.

I just emailed the NRA for their list of endorsed candidates for the upcoming election. Hopefully this time, as last time, I will find that most of my Democratic candidates have high marks.

I'm still voting for Obama again, though.
