NRA Tells Harry Reid (AND Sharron Angle) to Pound Sand

NRA Tells Harry Reid (AND Sharron Angle) to Pound Sand
N&V Staff

(NN&V Staff) – The following is a statement issued on Friday by NRA-PVF Chairman Chris W. Cox on The 2010 Nevada U.S. Senate race:

In the coming days and weeks, the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) will be announcing endorsements and candidate ratings in hundreds of federal races, as well as thousands of state legislative races. Unless these announcements are required by the timing of primary or special elections, the NRA-PVF generally does not issue endorsements while important legislative business is pending.

The NRA-PVF also operates under a long-standing policy that gives preference to incumbent candidates who have voted with the NRA on key issues.

The U.S. Senate recently considered a number of issues important to NRA members, including the confirmation of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. Out of respect for the confirmation process, the NRA did not announce its position on Ms. Kagan’s confirmation until the conclusion of her testimony before the Senate Judiciary committee.

Her evasive testimony exacerbated grave concerns we had about her long-standing hostility towards the Second Amendment. As a result, the NRA strongly opposed her confirmation and made it clear at the time that we would be scoring this important vote.

The vote on Elena Kagan’s confirmation to the Court, along with the previous year’s confirmation vote on Sonia Sotomayor, are critical for the future of the Second Amendment. After careful consideration, the NRA-PVF announced today that it will not be endorsing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for re-election in the 2010 U.S. Senate race in Nevada.

NRA members and other interested parties are encouraged to visit www.NRAPVF.org for more information as Election Day draws near.

Although they didn’t say it in their official press release, the NRA also will not be endorsing Sharron Angle.

“We will not be making an endorsement in the NV Sen race,” NRA spokesman Andrew Arulnanandam wrote in an e-mail to Chris Good of The Atlantic on Friday.
