NRA: We Won't Endorse Harry Reid

The NRA was certainly tempted to endorse Harry Reid, as TWS reported, in order to keep a gun-control backer like Chuck Schumer or Dick Durbin from becoming Senate Majority Leader, but the gun-rights group is announcing today that it will not endorse Reid in his re-election bid in Nevada. Why not?

The official answer: you can’t square Harry Reid’s votes for Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court with support for the Second Amendment. (Of course, there also would have been a huge revolt by grassroots NRA members if they endorsed Reid.)
