Burnt Orange Report

You will pry their ballot out of their cold, dead hands.

By Jim Dallas

Via KOS and The Hill, the National Rifle Association is withholding it's endorsement of the President pending action on legislation that would renew assault rifles ban (which Bush nominally supports).

The question is, do they hate Kerry more than they love Bush? We'll see.

Incidentally, I'm kinda hoping the assault rifles ban dies in Congress. But I'm weird that way.

Now, the NRA has questionable influence (they claim to be strong; but lots of their guys have lost). But every little bit helps, or hurts.

And this certainly does not help the President.

One of these days I plan on encouraging economically liberal people like myself to join the NRA en masse, the way the anti-immigration wingers are trying to influence the Sierra Club (boo). Who's with me?!?
