SamenoKami, I have to give the NRA a pass on Gillibrand's NRA grade in the past. She said the right things, she voted to protect the rights of gunowners. That is what they had to go on.
I might fault them for their naivete in not realizing when Patterson appointed her and Shumer endorsed her that she had sold out. But to that point, the point where she no longer needed the votes of her small House constituency, she did everything that would have earned her a high rating.
Now, though, I do hold the NRA to blame for not changing her grade,and for not publicly denouncing her and exposing her hypocrisy and betrayal. That is what the should do. But I can't fault them for the original grade.
