DISCLOSE: Thank the NRA
I can already hear the grinding of teeth, smell the foam coming out of the mouths and blood poring out of the nail-embedded palms. And I don’t mean the Brady’s.
Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.

If you thought the assault on the NRA endorsements ended with the Harry Reid send-off, you are sorely mistaken. Apparently the NRA must now receive approval from certain “uncompromisable” bloggers (and probably not NRA members) before being able to think about publishing any kind or release endorsing anybody or anything. Here is the funny thing: they are talking about candidates that have come to their attention only because the NRA endorsed them and somebody did not like it. We have people criticizing the NRA for endorsing somebody they know nothing about five states over where they live, but since somebody told them that the NRA should have gone the other way just because, now they are pouncing as if the NRA-PVF was endorsing the offspring of Pol-Pot and Aileen Wuornos. There is a difference between critical analysis and rabid deprecatory speech but they somehow seem to miss the difference.
But what really ticks me off is that the “critics” feel that you, me and everybody else are too frigging dumb to make our own decisions and that we will blindly follow what the NRA says. How dare they? Who died and made you Lord Overseer Reader and Controller of the Minds? How come do you have the tse-tse fly induced inflated testicles to assume I am some idiotic low form of sub-par life incapable of making my own analysis and that you must come to the rescue of my poor feeble mind? Incidentally, isn’t that the same thing the opposition does? That we are too dumb to make the decisions about having guns and that we are not smart enough, prepared enough or ready enough to exercise our Second amendment rights? Why are you doing the same thing about my right to vote?
I and many Gun Owners are smart enough to look all over the issues pertaining a candidate and we will weigh carefully our decision before popping the chad, pulling the lever or pushing the button. So stop telling me and everybody else for whom to vote. If you feel the need to strong arm somebody to have them vote the way you want it, go join the New Black Panther Party or local Union.

PS: Now, if you feel that strong about having the NRA measure each possible combination in life before endorsing anyone, I propose that they should go through the following list and gave us their pickings before they do anything else.
Dear NRA: Please choose the one you want to endorse and explain carefully if you want my vote and a nice post in my blog:
The NRA-PVF made it official: No endorsement for Harry Reid. Immediately after the news, GOA announced that they were actually responsible for the NRA “changing” their stance on Reid and requested to have people send more money to them. The Usual Cadre of Low Fat Milk Bloggers are still unhappy saying that the NRA has not done enough and demanded executions of dissenters at dawn or at least a free 2011 Cute Puppies Calendar and a “No Compromise” bobble head of Larry Pratt or they won’t rejoin the NRA… or do anything useful for the Second Amendment anyway.
Oh well!
Here we go again with the NRA bashing. Somebody said that somebody in Texas said that the NRA is going to back some representative that they don’t like or belongs to a party or another that does not like and the blogosphere once again is filled with NRA-Sucks posts even though the NRA has not issued yet a single report/support for anybody for the upcoming November elections. But let’s not get the facts get in the way of a well traveled post that can generate thousands of hits, shall we?
Since facts are out of the way, allow me to explain my reasons why I won’t support the NRA anymore:
There… I can breathe now knowing that i have satisfied the thoughtless masses. I shall now return to the logical areas of my brain.
PS: If you think I wrote stuff over the top and hard to believe,I actually saw a demand on a private forum of somebody who this morning posted another bashing to the NRA and calling for an immediate boycott of Ruger Firearms because of long time deceased Bill Ruger ‘s letter supporting the Clinton AWB and High Capacity Magazine Ban. Shit you not. Reason had left the building.
