Reply #145: the NRA is a right wing political organization

[HankyDubs]

Which is why they support CPAC, though most of the speakers address topics on completely separate issues. Why would they support anti-choice groups, racist groups, war criminals if they weren't right wing?

The NRA supports right wing politicians, regardless of their party. As a legalized bribery organization, of course they work to bribe everyone in sight, and I'm sure they succeed in bribing many in both parties.

Howard Dean supported the Assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill. He believes, as I do, that different laws should apply to different communities.
