Well, *that* wasn't very surprising- the NRA has endorsed Mittens

17. My opinion

I think this is going to hurt them in the long run. As they appear more and more to the general public as nothing more than a right wing propaganda machine they'll lose influence as the electorate changes. This was a very bad miscalculation on their part, in a desperate hope to buy influence. I agree with you, a no-vote would have been far better and saved them some credibility. I think the NRA's problem is that they don't feel they can be replaced because of their size. What they forget is that it is people like me, voting gun owners, who give them their influence. If another group comes along and sticks to the tenants the NRA espouses, but doesn't practice, then the winds of change just might blow them down like so many others throughout history.
