NRA goes after Democrats in contested Senate races

[scottsdalebubbe]

80. The NRA is nothing more

than a highly financed front for the gun and ammunition manufacturer , distributor, and retailer lobby.

And the citizen members of the NRA and their fellow travelers are the malleable tools of the NRA who will rush out and buy more guns and ammo, even in a down economy.

They are a captive customer base. Everyone, except them, apparently, knows that the first step in capturing a customer base is to capture their minds. In this case, the fearful and resentful are easily made more fearful and resentful to be captured by made-up stories, wholly without any supporting evidence (because there is none to be had) that Obama and/or the Democrats are going to go house-to-house to confiscate people's guns.

It's like people rushing out to buy toothpaste or deodorant based on the scare tactics of the commercials warning of becoming a social pariah if those products aren't used. Or people asking their doctors for heavy duty pain killers because a a bit of muscle strain or minor headache.

Ultimately, for the NRA, the goal of defeating a political candidate is secondary to selling more product and being able to hold captive already elected officials and still sell more product.
