http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAC59zTSiWo


From The NRA publication "America's First Freedom"

Senator Mark Udall D Colorado, is making efforts to restore existing gun ranges that have been neglected and shut down, as well as build new ranges on public lands.


But, But the NRA is nothing more than a republican political action committee I read it right here on DU.

9 out of 10 Canadians said so

1. Look at the money they donate. n/t

"We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I
support them," he said. "I won't chip away at them;
I believe they protect us and provide for our safety."
Romney using Sarah Brady’s rhetoric
(Gov. Romney’s news release, 7/1/2004)
"These guns are not made for recreation or
self-defense," Romney said. "They are instruments of
destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down
and killing people."
Romney signs permanent ban on Semi-Automatics
(Gov. Romney’s news release, 7/1/2004)
“In a move that will help keep the streets and
neighborhoods of Massachusetts safe, Governor Mitt
Romney today signed into law a permanent assault
weapons ban...”

No different than Obama's history, yet the half Irish Democrat gets an F.
Can you name any Democrat with a record on guns like Mitt's with a B?

[aikoaiko]

30. Do you have documentation on the NRA grading Romney since his gubernatioral race in 2002?

I have a difficult time navigating the NRA site to find primary endorsements (if there were any).

Apparently, in 2002, the NRA graded both Romney and O'Brien (the Democrat) with B grades and declined to endorse one over the other.
But then Romney signed into law the MASS gun control legislation. Do you know if the NRA has addressed his more recent activity or if they graded him in a primary candidate in 2007? I may be wrong, but they may not grade or endorse primary candidates.

3. Sen Udall has a good point

They could take some of the Pittman Robertson money, which comes from a tax on firearms and ammunition, combine it with the Civilian Marksmanship Program and get some top tier ranges.

[SteveM]

44. I agree. nt

[Upton]

4. "9 out of 10 Canadians said so"

:rofl:

Good one. Though you better watch it...whining by Canadians seems to be in vogue right now..

[iverglas]

19. yeah, opposing bigotry is whining

Just like reporting this thread as gratuitous bigotry was.

5. You better check out NRAs lifetime ratting for

Now, what were you saying?

6. Maybe he's seen the light

From the Christian Science Monitor:

Why the NRA is rallying behind endangered Democrats


Historically, the NRA has overwhelmingly supported Republicans. But Democrats began backing many pro-gun House candidates in 2006, and now the NRA is coming to their defense.

7. Brady Campaign

gives Mark Udall 100% rating

You guys agree now.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[burf]

8. I wonder who

will banish him first!

[Hoyt]

9. Yep, in 2008 NRA contributed to Udall's Republican challenger -- but not a penny to Udall.

[safeinOhio]

10. Of course not

he's a Democrat.

[burf]

11. But the NRA has contributed to Democrats

From politicalticker at CNN:

"The NRA has figured out - why own one party, when you can own both parties?"

The National Rifle Association boasts around four million members, and has a substantial campaign war chest, with $15 to $20 million earmarked for spending on the 2010 cycle. It has also produced ads supporting at least seven Republicans, in Senate, House, and gubernatorial races.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the group has donated $169,500 to Democratic and $350,550 to Republican Congressional campaigns this cycle. Of the ten candidates who got the most, four are Democrats.

Udall going on a NRA talk show tells me he probably ain't going after the Brady Campaign endorsement.

[Hoyt]

13. Not gonna applaud a right wing lobbying organization that has learned it can "own both parties."

[Atypical Liberal]

16. Would you applaud a union organization that owned both parties?

[Hoyt]

17. Atypical, you wouldn't? Better for a civil society than guns.

[We_Have_A_Problem]

33. What is so uncivil about a firearm?

It is a tool, nothing more. Perhaps it is what it represents to you that is the problem?

[applegrove]

12. What's wrong with Canadians?

[Simo 1939_1940]

14. As a comic once pointed out.........

.........they are WAY to quiet up there. They must be up to something.

[RSillsbee]

15. It's a location joke dear

You had to be there

[iverglas]

20. oh, applegrove, get with the program

Thee and me, we're stupid.

We're Canadians, how could we be otherwise?

[RSillsbee]

26. Thee and me, we're stupid.

well, you're half right.

[AtheistCrusader]

18. Unrec for thinly veiled callout.

Also, backfired intent in the OP.

This sort of shit does us no favors. The NRA's political arm is pretty much unredeemable at this point. Don't waste the electrons. They are neither beneficial, nor necessary to protect our basic civil rights.

[iverglas]

21. Canadians are so dangerous

that two of the posters in this thread alone have at least one Canadian "on ignore".

You have to watch out: if you actually see what a Canadian says, the light might blind you.

[Remmah2]

23. eh?

hoser

"If you actually see what a Canadian says."

[iverglas]

24. see?

It's the Great White North.

They're holding up those Molson's to protect you from snow blindness!

[Remmah2]

25. Well then.

God bless my union brothers at the northern breweries!

[beevul]

28. No no no!

"They're holding up those Molson's to protect you from snow blindness!"

Those couldn't be anything but Elsinore beer!

[iverglas]

29. those

(at least one of them) are stubbies, what we drank beer out of for centuries here until brewers abandoned another Canadian icon for the soulless tall thin things from south of the border.

...... Oh, well, you see, I've never actually seen Strange Brew. Wiki has now educated me. ;) Who knew it had a plot?

But I guess they were the uncles of the Trailer Park Boys.

[iverglas]

22. oh look: target practice, hunter education ...

Not an Are Kay Bee Eh? to be seen ...

Some other fun NRA videos there, I must say.

[BiggJawn]

27. Ever read "The American Rifleman"?

A few of Wayne LaPierre's columns and you start to wonder when they're gonna push for open hunting seasons on Liberals.

[slackmaster]

34. My favorite magazine is "Scientific American Rifleman"

[We_Have_A_Problem]

36. Awww...

pretty kitty...looks like one we have - only yours isn't quite as fat...

[BiggJawn]

38. Kitteh and home-made pickles...

Don't get much better then that!

[slackmaster]

41. My next-door neighbor grew so many zucchini that year, she was like Opal Pickles in the comics

Sneaking around from door to door at night, leaving grocery bags full of them on peoples' front porches. I made so many jars of pickles I doubt that I'll ever be able to eat them all.

The following year I made about 20 jars of pickled garlic cloves, which I grew.

[RSillsbee]

43. You can pickle zuccini?

it's amazing what you can learn on DU

[slackmaster]

45. It's best to use young ones. Skin them if you wish. Cut the seeds out of mature squash.

Other than that, treat them the same as cucumbers.

[jeepnstein]

31. Their PAC...

is populated with a bunch of folks who really don't understand politics. Their slant toward the Republican Party is quite obvious and more than a bit counter-productive. Bush was ready and willing to sign a new AWB if Congress would pass one. The Bush terror black lists are now being touted as yet another gun control tool. And they still blindly support Republicans. Sure they'll endorse a Democrat once in a while but they sure won't spend any money to back up that endorsement.

[safeinOhio]

39. Board of Directors member

Grover Norguist must OK all Democrats that are endorsed by the NRA. Anyone else remember Zell Miller? typical NRA Democrat.

[jpak]

32. The GOP/NRA sucks ass

yup

:rofl:

[We_Have_A_Problem]

35. As you are doubtless aware by now...

the NRA is not part of the GOP and many members of this forum are part of the NRA.

Try to educate yourself on this issue just a LITTLE bit, would you?

[safeinOhio]

40. As long as you NRA members keep electing

Wayne Lapierre(Obama has a secret 10 point plan), Ted Nugent(suck on this Obama and Pelosi) and Grover Norquist(take the pledge) they are a right wing org. This post proves it, pat Udall on the back and screw him in the a** with a life time F grade. Of all of those wonderful Democrats they have supported, name one progressive ever elected to the Board of Directors or President of the NRA? I think you need a little education more than the others.

[We_Have_A_Problem]

42. I'm not a member of the NRA. Thought I made that clear.

Try reading for comprehension next time.

[burf]

37. Do your sentiments apply to

gun rights Democrats too?
