The National Rifle Association is in unfamiliar terrain on the
conservative firing range this election year: It’s the target.
The conservative Netroots are abuzz over the possibility that the NRA
may endorse Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). This would be the second major
slight by the NRA for political conservatives — the gun group also just
negotiated a big exemption on a campaign finance bill loathed by the
right.
Conservatives say there’s a clear political calculation at work: If Reid
loses, he’s almost certain to be succeeded as majority leader by a
fierce gun-control advocate, either Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin or New
York Sen. Chuck Schumer.
The NRA
isn't even denying this line of reasoning but says it hasn’t made a
decision about whether to endorse Reid. “The Second Amendment and the National Rifle Association are always one
bad incident away from politicians like Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin
exploiting their agenda of gun control,” said Andrew Arulanandam, an NRA
spokesman.
