NRA Sent these Stickers to It's Members Recently, backing Richard Burr.

No surprise here as the National Rifle Association has chosen to support Senator Richard Burr in his re-election bid for the United States Senate.

In a letter to North Carolina members of the NRA,  Grassroots Director Chris Cox wrote:

Richard Burr has fought the good fight and helped block attacks on the Second Amendment, day in and day out…He’ll be able to do even more to protect the Second Amendment in the next Congress.  We need to send Richard Burr back to the Senate to continue to protect our rights from those who want to take them away.

Cox, writing on behalf of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, went on to say add some of Burr’s accomplishments in supporting our Second Amendment rights:

*Earned an “A” rating and endorsement from (an NRA group) for his unwavering record in the US Senate and House of Representatives for his unwavering record and commitment to preserving our Second Amendment rights and hunting heritage

*Cosponsored and voted for the District of Columbia Personal Protection Act that would repeal the DC gun ban/registration statute and restore the right of self-defense to law-abiding residents of our nation’s capital.

Don’t Drive Through DC

This position is particular interesting to this blogger.   KCC goes to Washington frequently, one of the top cities for crime in the United States.  Every state around the District recognizes North Carolina’s concealed carry license, which your blogger earned.

However, if your blogger were to drive directly through DC, gun in her car, concealed or not, she would immediately be a felon in the eyes of the DC law.     This is frustrating as this blogger has always been a law-abiding citizen, apart one or two traffic tickets she received over twenty years ago.  If she were to travel north, to Maryland, she would have to take the long way, around DC, not through it, to get there.

Other highlights include:

*Signed the pro-gun “friend of the court” brief in the 2008 McDonald case supporting that position that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that protects all Americans.

*Voted for the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity amendment that would extend federal protection of state right to carry licenses and permits across the country.

*Voted for an amendment that now prohibits gun confiscation during states of emergency as happened after Hurricane Katrina.

I'm the NRA and I Vote Yard Sign

*God bless him, he voted against anti-gun, and liberal activist Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia “Wise Latina Woman” Sotomayor.

Meanwhile, Elaine Marshall would not even answer the questionnaire this year and in the past – “an indication of indifference, if not outright hostility, to the rights of gun owners and sportsmen”.  She was ranked a ?
