NRA Once Again Betrays 2nd Amendment Supporters

Michigan residents - it looks too good to be true. Popular (in this state) Republican Michael Bouchard is targeting anti-gun, anti-Pro-America Democratic US Senator Debbie Stabenow.

Bouchard said he expected to defeat his primary opponents, and later Stabenow, who he said won her first term with 49 percent of the vote and is considered the most vulnerable incumbent in the nation.

Mr. Bouchard has an impressive resume: he served in the state Senate from 1991 to 1999 as assistant president pro-tempore (1991-1994), assistant majority leader (1994-1998), and majority floor leader (1998-1999). Since 1999, he has been Oakland County Sheriff. He is endorsed by the National Rifle Association.

But, sadly, as I wrote above, it looks too good to be true.

Sheriff Bouchard, the man endorsed by the NRA, is the same man responsible for putting 2nd Amendment activist Angel Shamaya in jail over a seriously flawed charge that the Oakland County Prosecutor dropped for lack of any evidence. Oops.

Why is the NRA endorsing such a man? What kind of anti-gun nut has taken over the NRA to lead them to endorse such a man?

Beware, people. The NRA, in spite of great marketing, is growing less gun-owner friendly every year.

And, people, beware. For some reason, it seems that people equate "Republican" with "gun-friendly." It ain't so. It is about the Constitution and protecting our freedom, not about who won't raise your taxes the most. Both sides are equally flawed.

Most of these "conservative Republican" clowns call on us 2nd Amendment supporters every election. They treat us just like the stereotypical guy-without-morals who has nothing better to do on a Saturday night calls up some girl for a date. They utter a few pretty words, use us, treat us cheap, and don't bother to return our calls after the deed is done. The conservative intelligensia and the conservative politician typically treats us with the same contempt, if not hatred, as the liberal counterpart. The difference is that s/he will pander to us to get a vote.

And if that is the standard conservative Republican politician - what is the NRA endorsing them for?
