5. The NRA overlooked that stuff because it's not REALLY about guns
Fri Oct 5, 2012, 05:33 AM
Oct 2012

When the NRA talks about Obama, they give half-hearted protests about guns but a lot of their language makes it clear that they buy and peddle the entire catalog of GOP bullshit about Obama. They don't consider him American; they warn about impending socialism. Lots of things that have nothing to do with guns. The NRA's leadership has gone far beyond their stated agenda and has joined the larger right wing anti-Obama machine.
