Democrats Are Playing NRA Roulette

Robert A. Ricker is a lawyer and lobbyist who has represented such groups as the National Rifle Assn. and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.



Much has been made of the decision by some Senate Democrats to abandon their political base and support legislation backed by the National Rifle Assn. to shield gun makers from lawsuits by crime victims.

They apparently hope they can immunize themselves against attacks from the gun lobby or that the gun lobby will ease up on vulnerable Democrats at election time.

But these Democrats are making a big strategic mistake. They're following the failed strategy of feeding the political "alligator" first, in hopes it will eat them last.

Feeding the NRA alligator has no future, just ask Georgia Dems.
