NRA

So the NRA may not be able to defeat a Supreme Court nominee. Surely every red blooded patriotic, senator realizes the risk of having a spine. You are endanger of losing votes, which could mean losing an election. But oh the clean feeling of knowing that you voted your conscience. Tis better to vote yes or no, based on your own evaluation of the candidate than to be pressured by single issue special interest groups. Take heart, not every sportsman holds the NRA's radical views. Remember, the first President George H.W. Bush resigned his life time membership in the NRA. He, along with many others, believed that a good organization had taken a radical turn. Every right has limits for the common good. Even now, gun owners can not own machine guns, anti aircraft weapons, ets. Is there not a reasonable protection for the rights of gun owners without putting at risk the many who do not see a need to being armed. I own guns, I have no problam with background checks, waiting periods, and reasonable restrictions on where I can and can not carry a gun. Lord, protect us from the radical right, and the radical left. Most Americans are looking to their government to solve some very serious problems. If only the single issue groups would let them.
