I was in a lather about the NRA's latest hijinks, conning an exemption to the bill being concocted by liberals to gut the Citizens United ruling ... TexasFats kind of put it in a different light for me; he may be right that the NRA, as THE pro-gun organization in the U.S., has to focus on gun rights, often at the expense of other issues. Reid may be a gun rights guy, but he's so horrible in every other way that it's hard to justify supporting him. But if you look at in from the one-issue side, maybe the NRA is doing the right thing for gun rights in general, even if having Harry around for another term isn't in the best interests of anything else you can think of.
