Wondering about my congressional district and their endorsement. It appears that they have grossly overlooked my district or just didn't do their homework.

Candidate A: RINO. Career "politician". Our daughter roomed with his daughter at college. I doubt he even has a handgun for self defense...or which end of a deer rifle goes bang...but he's a Republican so he gets a A, and NRA's pick.

Candidate B: Young guy, Democrat, black. Tremendous family, good as gold. He owns a farm. Salt of the earth. He's a deer hunter from birth, can "talk guns" with anyone and is a staunch 2A supporter. Conservative as they get. I've hunted with him several times. Passes up 140 class bucks so he can get a 160. Married, two children..."Yes sir, no sir, thank you" type of children. Wife taught his children and they were great. He gets a solid "F".

?

I usually pay attention since I'm an NRA member, but I have seen them miss a time or two. I've even voted against the NRA pick, I know twice for sure now. I went Republican in a few years back, that had a C, against a Democrat the NRA gave a B to I think.

No. I vote Republican anyway.

same here

Candidate “B” may be, as you say, a great guy and conservative NOW. Put him in Washington under the democrat liberal thumb and I fear things would change. It’s all about control of Congress! Our’s or Their’s..........

I used to vote for the person but not anymore. If they are dem when they get to DC they will vote with the libs!

No. They are done by some clown someplace who isn't in touch with the NRA members or the candidates and they solicit no opinions and take no advice.

NRA endorsements are based at least partly on a candidate's response to written questionnaires. Or lack of response. If they've held office, their voting record is also taken into account. Just because someone doesn't hunt or doesn't own guns, does not mean they are anti-gun.

Yes, I pay attention to the NRA endorsements. However......



Dems are automatic no votes from me now. If they want to uphold the Constitution, they had better get with the party most likely to do so - and that ain't the Dems.

It’s based on their voting record if they have one. If none, it’s based on answers to a questionnaire.

Mark Begich lied on the form when running for us senate, and NRA gave him an “A” rating, even after being part of Bloomberg’s ‘mayors against guns’.

Vote what you know.

Putting B in congress might be the straw that makes Pelosi the speaker and controlling the house agenda.. bad choice

I do for primaries but not for general elections. I vote for Republicans straight ticket.

+1

It doesn't matter how "good a person" they are, if you're on the ticket as a Democrat you will not, under any circumstance, get my vote.

No One tells me who to vote for. It's my decision.

IDGAF if its a choice between a Demonrat or Repuke, the Repuke is ALWAYS going to get my vote in this day and age.

30 years ago? Yes I voted for local progun BlueDogs. None of them are Demonrats today.

The Democrat running in our District is a complete POS. I didn't need the NRA to tell me that.

Just because he says he's a staunch 2nd guy doesen't mean squat, Dems have a bad record on the 2nd.

Hell look at Piddler, he says he's a staunch 2nd guy and he wants everything semi auto banned.

I vote straight Republican.

I vote straight Republican. I like my freedoms.

I don't need the NRA to tell me what to do but I still look at the information. No libs for me. I'm suspicious of ANY democrat. Had the Missouri speaker of the house years ago for a neighbor. THAT was one antigun democrat! I would guess he had more power statewide than the governor of those days.I know first hand, spoke to him face to face about a situation. He later spent some time in club Fed. No democrat is going to get my vote these days. Rusty

In the old days when there were some sane Democrats, the NRA guide was much more useful. Now it is nutz to vote D.

"Conservative as they get. I've hunted with him several times."

So why is he a Democrat? Ask him if he voted for Obama or Hildebeast.

Yes, I pay attention, but only to see if it mirrors my view.

Candidate B - "Wolf in sheep's clothing".

The NRA will endorse a candidate that has a record of voting to uphold the 2A. Many times that guy is a slug. Any democrat especially in the house will have to hold the party line or else suffer the consequences. Democrats can get permission to vote across party lines when it will benefit them in an election cycle like Manchin did. I pay attention but ultimately I vote republican. There is so much at stake it is foolish to take a chance on a democrat. It's hard enough to find a republican that actually believes in the constitution as it was written.

I don't pay attention to NRA anything.

My FIRST consideration on any candidate is their stance on the SECOND amendment.

Bagitch also ordered the destruction of hundreds of guns held by the city as evidence or lost property. It took Wayne Anthony Ross suing to stop it. This was after Knowles had been stopped by the courts the same way.

On the latest go-around they gave Bagitch a ? after being in elected office for over 10 years?!?!

They gave him an A- and he barely beat Ted Stevens whose now over-turned guilty verdict was fresh. We got 6 years of Bagitch due at least in part to the NRA. I do not trust them nor use their ratings. Liiiissa will get an A in 2022 and I will vote for anyone else.

Will he vote "yes" to confirm a conservative supreme court justice?

The first thing candidate B would do is vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. No thanks.

To answer the op, no, I don't pay any attention to their endorsement.

If B is so conservative then why is he in a party that is the least conservative. You cant trust them to vote the issues only the party line. So we have to vote that way until that changes. Better to vote in a rino than a for sure no vote on the Trump agenda.

Agreed.

And that assessment has nothing to do with the NRA.

Not so much after they endorsed Harry Reid

Yes, I pay attention, if someone is anti 2A they will never get my vote. I live in New Jersey, all the Dimwits are anti 2A, pro illegal immigration and pro abortion, they will never get my vote!

Liiisa is a special case.

Some years ago in a primary, she claimed the higher 2A ground vs Mike Miller because he doesn’t have a hunting license.
Bet he’s a bigger shooter than her weekend a year at duck camp - if they still do that.

Do I review the NRA ratings? Yes. Does it influence my vote? No. I already know who I am going to vote for in each slot. However, it does provide a certain level of confirmation bias.

I read them and will use them if not sure about a new candidate with the exception of - no democrats, ever.

Joe's "problem" was getting a "low-income" fishing license.

On the 2nd, obviously.

Also, like to read any additional background info the NRA prints on candidates. That can be hard to come by in FL, as the dims often try to hide the fact they're dims in so many "non-partisan" elections.

Non-partisan, my ass.

If he's a Democrat he's a liar. Plain and simple. He will vote with the rest of the liars.

The NRA endorsed Casey Cagle for governor of Georgia in the election primaries. They were way off
base on that. I emailed and called them about their choice. The NRA never responded to my email and
just gave me political doubletalk on my phone call.

Luckily the people of Georgia knew the difference and Cagle was defeated by a substancial margin. You
could call it a butt kicking.

Who does their research in each district? It should be NRA members reporting in. I've voted R since Reagan. I will never vote D unless they get rid of their socialists, communists, crooks, reverse racists, and realize abortion is murder, and Christians aren't evil.

But Reagan helped push through more gun control than Obama?

And I realize Obama would have done more if he had any competent leadership skills but Reagan wasn’t a friend of the 2nd in the least.

I’m sure now somebody would call me a cnn viewing liberal,which is retarded.

I won’t vote for any democrat under any circumstances, period, end of story. If they call themselves a democrat they agree with the democrat agenda.

Candidate B might be one of those "hunters" who will vote with the other democretins to ban whatever because you "don't need it for hunting". Plus as others have said he will be a vote for Pelosi for speaker, their communist agenda, and a vote against future SCOTUS nominees who are not insane. NO THANKS! I'd take my chances with the RINO.

I'll not vote for anything with a "D" beside its name under any circumstances.

Got two post cards from the NRA in today's mail. Different size card, same endorsement. The NRA wastes more money than any outfit I've ever known of.

I will never vote Democrat, so at election time I don't need NRAs opinion. NRA does some help in the primaries, but that's aout it.

I am a life member of the NRA and will not resign my membership but I don't consider their opinion any more for several reasons. The biggest reason is because of Mr. LaPierre's strangle hold on the organization. The NRA did not help out with the two most important U.S. supreme court cases ever as they worked their way through the system and only came in on the kill after the work was done. They don't want court decisions, they want to keep the membership stirred up about elected officials. We either have a 2nd amendment right or we don't. Court is the place to be. Ollie North wrote a piece a while back stating that Mr. LaPierre contacted him and basically offered him the position of president of the NRA. What's up with that? The dictator in charge of the bureaucracy of what has become a fund raising cash cow apparently has the power to name whoever he pleases to whatever figurehead position he wishes. Also the magazine sucks and as far as i'm concerned they can keep it.

The NRA is an organization designed to protect the second.
My Avatar tells you how lm going to vote. Hasbeen

A Democrat will vote for Democrat leadership. A vote for Nancy, Chucky of Diane is a vote to take my guns.

not to quibble, but i look at their voting record on the 2nd amendment. pretty sure you do the same.

A vote for a Democrat is a vote for Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or worse.

The problem with voting for a conservative democrat (theoretically speaking because that is an oxymoron these days) over a more liberal republican (again, theoretically speaking) would be someone named Schumer or Pelosi. Whichever party has the majority sets the agenda and generally gets it done. Remember what happened in 2010 with AHCA.

Your vote counts as much for the majority leaders as it does for district or state representation.

And once again, I will point out how much simpler life would be if there was a provision for life-time voting.

I prefer GOA rating system over the NRA. GOA goes by actual voting records. The NRA accepts whatever bullschitt they put down on their questionnaires. That's how our former scumbag democrap US Senator and current scumbag democrap gubernatorial candidate Mark Bagitch got his NRA "A" rating.








Never ever give the Enemy any assistance. I wouldn't vote for a democrap on the coldest day in hell.
