I've noticed NRA-ILA doesn't endorse LP candidates much, and the reasons are clear: one, NRA-ILA likes to maintain good credibility among the electorate, so they endorse the people they think are the likely winners among those pols they like. And face it: Libertarian Party candidates are so uniformly and emphatically pro-gun that NRA-ILA has to spend precisely zero effort influencing either the candidate or his supporting activists on gun rights and policy. So, yeah, taken for granted -- with complete justice. And the NRA lobbyist will drop by after you've won office, all right?

The JPFO, whose arguments for assault rifles as preventers of genocide totally blow their opponents out of the water, reducing to a smoking hole any "Theory of the Evil Gun Type." Good for them!

Who needs the NRA AFTER being elected. The whole point of having an NRA endorsement is to have it to help you get elected. Saying they won't support pro-gun libertarians in favor of gun-control supporting Republicans who are more likely to get elected is like saying...."I won't vote for you unless you don't need my vote. I won't offer my support to those who have the same position as me unless they don't need my support."
