Maryland’s GOP Governor Loses NRA Support After "Betrayal"

Post by bignflnut »

The National Rifle Association (NRA) withdrew its support from Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) after he signed a series of bills aimed at gun control legislation.

Among the bills signed by the Republican was a ban on “bump stocks” and a “red flag law,” which makes it easier for guns to be taken away from individuals deemed to be dangerous.

At the time, Hogan praised the legislation package as a series of “common-sense, bipartisan measures that will keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill and those with criminal backgrounds.”

Hogan also said in July that he would reject an endorsement from the NRA if it gave him one while speaking to a students at Great Mill High School, months after a 16-year-old girl was killed during a school shooting.
How duplicitous can the NRA be?

Here is the NRA's Frenchie advocating against bump stocks.

Here is the NRA's Chrissy advocating for pre-crime ERPOs.

From what I can see, Hogan was simply implementing NRA positions in his jurisdiction.

FWIW, the NRA and this Hogan character don't have the first damn clue how to defend RKBA. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
