Rand Paul is too strong on the Second Amendment, according to the NRA

That is a BS headline spun in order to drum up hatred for the NRA and support for the GOA and NAGR.

Lets analyze the following. I'll Bold everything that is Bullshit, and underline everything that rings true.

Paul has an A-rating from the NRA, but the objective grading of his gun-rights credentials has little to do with the politics of the pro-gun lobby, wherein his involvement with extremist groups tied to his father, former congressman and libertarian-icon Ron Paul, has not won him many friends.


“Sometimes the NRA doesn’t like it when people are bigger defenders of the issue than they are,” the source suggested. “They also don’t like it that he helps other, stronger groups like the Gun Owners of America and the National Association for Gun Rights.”

LOL at "stronger groups like GOA".

Now, if the NRA's grading was based on a politicians public standing, and not an objective grading of their gun stance, then why does the NRA give Paul an A-rating despite his supposed ties to "extremist groups", as the "source with knowledge of Paul’s dealings with the NRA" claims.

The part about the NRA being butthurt because Paul supports the GOA and NAGR seem very true to me. This is probably why he was not invited.

I heard this on the local news station today but they did not say which group he belonged to. I expected it was GOA and I have never heard of NAGR before. The report I heard (and this one too) seemed to be written to try to split conservatives, get them arguing amongst themselves so that the liberal candidate doesn't have to provide any dirt, it is already done.

I think Senator Paul's answer is correct, Petty.

(Though it did remind me that I wanted to join GOA!)
