Shocker: NRA to Oppose Obama Re-Election
Shocker: NRA to Oppose Obama Re-Election

Before the NRA Annual Meeting formally convened on Friday in Pittsburgh, Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the NRA would "actively oppose" President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012.

Even LaPierre admitted the group's opposition to Obama is "no surprise," but he felt a need to come out early and strongly to galvanize Second Amendment advocates to begin preparing for the election now.

3. I believe Michael Moore is an active member of the NRA.
BTW, when will Trump move his m/f ass over to the NRA to suck up some support?

7. Why? Obama hasn't lifted a finger to restrict gun rights
I don't even recall him even speaking about it.

Is it just that he hasn't made guns MANDATORY yet?

12. Good for you, Wayne.
You're an asshole, but you're still clever enough to bilk your followers out of their hard-earned money.

21. IIRC Romney is either a D or F on their rating scale
And I don't think they've rated Trump, but he would probably get an F. Hell, McCain had an F for years.
