NRA Chickens out against Eric Holder

Sources inside the National Rifle Association  tell Red State the NRA has succumbed to pressure from Democrats to not actively oppose Eric Holder. Holder has strident, well known anti-second amendment positions. Nonetheless, because the NRA likes to play nice with Democrats, they are going to roll over for B. Hussein Obama on the Holder nomination instead of fighting for, well, the second amendment — their reason for being.

    Now I can’t speak for the NRA, but as far as I know, they did send a letter to Leahy and Specter opposing holder. Yes, I would like to see the NRA fight harder, but for them to be taken seriously amongst the halls of congress, they can’t be viewed as just an extreme right wing organization. This means that at times they may have to pick and choose their battles to remain enough so in the good graces of the left that they are at least willing to listen to what the NRA have to say. Don’t misunderstand me, I want nothing short of the Holder nomination being shot down by the proverbial Colt .45 of justice. This is a time when all of us true conservatives and supporters of the 2nd Amendment have to stick together even if we disagree on certain issues. This is the only way we will remain strong enough to defeat the liberal machine.
