America, 'NRA class' is now in session. There's an old Teacher in town. Boy, are they grumpy.
Don't get out of line or be prepared for their failing grade.
NRA Releases Coveted Endorsements and Grades for Texas State Races
by Bob Price, breitbart.com -- 29 Jan 2014
The National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) released its much awaited endorsements and grades for the statewide candidates in Texas Wednesday. The PVF only made endorsements in two of the statewide races, those being in the races for Texas Governor and Texas State Comptroller.
In the race to succeed Texas Governor Rick Perry, the current Attorney General Greg Abbott received the PVF’s endorsement and a grade of A. Despite recent pro-gun statements by his Democratic challenger, Texas State Senator Wendy Davis, as to her views on the Second Amendment, Sen. Davis received a D from the PVF.
[...]
The PVF defines their grading system as follows:
A+: A legislator with not only an excellent voting record on all critical NRA issues, but who has also made a vigorous effort to promote and defend the Second Amendment.
A: Solidly pro-gun candidate. A candidate who has supported NRA positions on key votes in elective office or a candidate with a demonstrated record of support on Second Amendment issues.
AQ: A pro-gun candidate whose rating is based solely on the candidate's responses to the NRA-PVF Candidate Questionnaire and who does not have a voting record on Second Amendment issues.
B: A generally pro-gun candidate. However, a "B" candidate may have opposed some pro-gun reform or supported some restrictive legislation in the past.
D: An anti-gun candidate who usually supports restrictive gun control legislation and opposes pro-gun reforms. Regardless of public statements, can usually be counted on to vote wrong on key issues.
Funny that
NRA D grade, kind of makes me want to support Davis even more.
How about you?
Who knew that the meanest teachers would still be around after all these years?
Still fouling everything up, as much as they possibly can ...

Hmmm? Isn't that what Election days are for -- to give them a Passing or Failing Grade.
