I've seen that chart before and it seems to me that the GOA is just more biased against Dems than the NRA. The don't give a single one a grade higher than C- whereas the the NRA has several listed at A. I won't claim to know the actually reasoning behind this though because their both in agreement over my senators so i haven't done much research outside my state. Cantwell and Murray both suck. And they've been in office forever which is annoying. WA is pretty good about 2A measures so I don't understand why these two constitution haters keep getting reelected.
Maybe being associated with the party that stands firmly for murdering babies is taken into consideration within the GOA while it is ignored within the N R A. It seems to me that no matter how "good" a Dem's record on 2A votes might be, if they consistently support the notion that denying the right to live is "legal" and good public policy, their support for the 2A is pretty meaningless. The Constitution was built upon the notion that all of mankind has the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. One can't pursue the latter two concepts if they aren't allowed to enjoy the first.
I don't care if the GOA is "biased" against Dems for the same reason I am or not. If they fail Dems more often than Reps, it's justified if for no other reason than that the Dem Party supports more gun-grabbing legislation than the Rep Party does, and their affiliations
should cost them prestige within the gun-owning "community," a word I resist using, but it seems appropriate in this instance. I have no idea if the GOA's ratings use that criteria or not, but whether they do or they don't, it makes perfect sense to me that Dems would always score lower than "average" Republicans.
That said, they're
all wannabe tyrants. If not on gun or abortion issues, their tyranny manifests on other issues. This country is overdue for a reset, no matter which party holds the most power when it comes about. None of them are to be trusted with protecting our rights.
