NRA - A rating is NOT A GOOD THING in the Sandy Hook aftermath,

Backing by the NRA has been a very good thing in past years.   Right now, an NRA A rating is a problem.  A pro gun candidate is not doing well against a candidate who got an F rating from the NRA.
Times have changed since Sandy Hook and the killing of 20 little guys and 6 adults.
