The NRA has millions of members who vote to elect board members who in turn appoint executive members to run the NRA. The millions of members and the board members are in contol of the NRA, not a single activist. That my friend is the difference between the NRA and the GOA. The NRA never makes everyone happy, because it is impossible for millions of people to ever agree on everything. However, the NRA grade scale is much more fair than the arbitrary method that the GOA is using. It isn't perfect, but it makes more sense in my opinion. <br /><br />I read through the links you shared, I understand the anger when the grade scale doesn't work perfectly for your favorite candidate, but it still does not change my opinion. I already explained how a given candidate can end up getting less than an A+ based on the bills they vote against. That is my opinion, you can have yours.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234393631788374972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063163257624231557.post-35868959510721429802012-01-11T16:00:14.693-07:002012-01-11T16:00:14.693-07:00Jimmy: Thanks for the link.

Who selects which bills are graded - and how? Could it be (*gasp*) a "single activist"?<br /><br />The original article seemed to imply that the NRA rating system was somehow "better" than the GOA approach. After all, there are the NRA ratings front and center in the body of the article. The GOA ratings? Well, there's a link, but that's hardly equal treatment. I might expect an even-handed approach to show all of the candidate ratings in a single table... something like:<br /><br /> NRA GOA<br />Paul | A- | A+<br />Romney | B | D-<br />Santorum | A+ | B-<br /><br /><br />etc.<br /><br />(Sorry for the appearance of the "table" but the POS blog software won't accept a table tag.)<br /><br />My point wasn't to quibble over who or how many are involved in the scoring, but rather to illustrate that the there's no mathematical certitude, inherent rectitude or special lack of bias involved in the NRA ratings. I was aware of Paul's vote on the legislation you mentioned, and yes, his objections were (as usual when voting "No") based purely on Constitutional grounds. According to <a href="http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/paul_ron_nra_endorses_gun_control_democrat.htm" rel="nofollow">this article</a> the NRA lied about Paul's record, dropped his rating, would not disclose how the ratings were generated and backed a Democrat in the 2006 congressional race. <a href="http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2006/11/fix-is-in-ron-paul-must-go.html" rel="nofollow">This article</a> sums it all up rather nicely. <br /><br />Incidentally, it was the NRA's vindictive approach to Paul that convinced me to stop contributing to the NRA - and send my money instead to the GOA. <br /><br />As someone who has studied gun control issues quite closely for more than 20 years, my general impression is that GOA shoots straight, but NRA frequently seems to adjust their opinions based on political windage... as the links I provided illustrate.<br /><br />Read. Learn. Think.BambiBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063163257624231557.post-45193801545530204852012-01-06T12:56:11.747-07:002012-01-06T12:56:11.747-07:00I stand by my position that the GOA ratings are th...I stand by my position that the GOA ratings are the opinions of a single activist. However, I will let you know that the only reason Ron Paul does not have an A+ with the NRA, is because he has been forced to vote against some pro gun legislation that the NRA was in favor of, but Ron Paul voted against for other reasons. One example is that Ron Paul voted against the legislation that was put in place to support manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits. The NRA graded that vote so it counted against Ron Paul when he voted against it. I'm guessing that Ron Paul voted against the legislation not because he hates gun manufacturers, but because it had something else in it that he didn't like. <br /><br />Regardless of the above, I consider Ron Paul to have an A+ in my book when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. Even though he does not always vote for legislation that the NRA supports, he ALWAYS votes in favor of the constitution, and that is good enough for me.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234393631788374972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063163257624231557.post-57535137309016222562012-01-06T09:22:18.435-07:002012-01-06T09:22:18.435-07:00The NRA grading system is no more, a probably sign...The NRA grading system is no more, a probably significantly less reliable than the GOA's. <br /><br />For example, Ron Paul has not only defended the Second Amendment from infringement, he has proposed rolling back legislation that currently infringes the Second Amendment - specifically, repealing the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Act of 1934. The GOA gives Paul their highest rating (A+) and recently conferred on him their "Defender of the Second Amendment Award" based on a lifetime of Second Amendment defense.<br /><br />Conversely, nothing in the NRA measurement appears to take into account <i> consistency</i> of candidates on the issue. Other candidates (Santorum, Romney, Gingrich) have altered positions with the political winds. For more than 25 years, Paul's stance on the Second Amendment has been solid and unwavering. <br /><br />Rick Perry seems to be staunchly pro-Second Amendment. But as a former campaign manager for Al Gore, at a time when Gore's election was seen as the necessary precursor to the United States signing up for an international treaty on Small Arms and Light Weapons that would have crippled, or perhaps even swept away the Second Amendment, we should be circumspect about Perry. How could he not only have supported a man who was strongly invested in neutralizing the Second Amendment, but have worked to get him elected?<br /><br />A good portion of NRA ratings appear to be political expediency. A candidate who appears more electable gets an inflated rating if they're not anti-Second Amendment. The NRA theory appears to be that this tends to preserve good will and perhaps open opportunities for negotiation in the event of the most likely candidate being elected. Thus a "B" candidate who appears likely to win, may get an "A", while an "A" candidate in the same race may get a "B" if he appears less likely to win. Romney's "B" from the NRA is sheer grade inflation. A GOA "D+" is a much more honest rating for a candidate who is on record as saying Massachussett's gun laws are "reasonable". <br /><br />Bear in mind that the NRA is a compromising organization. Where the anti-gun folks have come for our rights, the NRA has traditionally negotiated with them "somewhere in the middle" rather than standing up for our rights and demanding they be respected. See <a href="http://www.nrawol.net/Lapses_Principle.html" rel="nofollow">NRA- Lapses in Principle</a> .

Orth, The American Rifleman ,October 1968.<br /> <br /> I'm a Life Member of the NRA, but when I want to know which candidates really hold solid core convictions regarding the Second Amendment, I use the GOA ratings. If you want to run with the political herd, buy into political expediency, chase the Second Amendment claims of the moment made by candidates whose history may contain assorted overlooked attacks on the Second Amendment, the NRA ratings are a better choice.BambiBnoreply@blogger.com
