NRA Goes After Senator Manchin

Made numerous calls to the NRA-ILA in re senator Manchin and his A rating. Was told the NRA would downgrade Manchin's A rating when he runs for re-election: That is much too late. i and others have tried to make the case that the NRA is keeping Manchin A rated while he uses that rating to push gun control. It would cost millions in NRA donations to counter Manchin's gun control proposals.

The NRA has finally gone after senator Manchin.

Quote:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- After years of showering U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin with stellar ratings and campaign endorsements, the National Rifle Association targeted the West Virginia Democrat with a TV ad launched Wednesday over his continuing push for broader gun buyer background checks.

The new ad urges viewers to phone Manchin's office and tell him "to honor his commitment to the 2nd Amendment." It alleges Manchin "is working" with President Barack Obama, who is deeply unpopular in West Virginia, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a vocal advocate of gun control laws.
