She beat the gun lobby -- and they want to take her down

The National Rifle Association has a new president, one Carolyn D. Meadows. Apparently the NRA got tired of that old con man Ollie North; or maybe the mendacous former Marine lieutenant colonel got tired of the NRA's homegrown grifters like Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre. Hard to tell amid the swirl of scandal and accusations of misuse of funds.

Anyway, Carolyn Meadows was up to be named North's replacement as the public face of the NRA.

So, naturally, she explained one of her priorities in her new job was to win back a Georgia congressional seat which the Democrat Lucy McBath had won narrowly last November. Where Newt Gingrich had once sat, McBath must be an unqualified interloper. And Meadows thought she knew why McBath won.

"... we'll get that seat back,” Meadows said. “But it is wrong to say like McBath said, that the reason she won was because of her anti-gun stance. That didn't have anything to do with it — it had to do with being a minority female. And the Democrats really turned out, and that's the problem we have with conservatives — we don't turn out as well.”

You are missing something, Ms Meadows.

Lucy McBath introduced her campaign with this ad in which she tells the story of losing her son to a man with a gun. Here's how McBath explained her intent to Georgia voters.This short video is still worth your time even though the election is over.

Like all Congresscritters, McBath always needs support to stay in office. Meadows has backtracked, knowing she'd stuck her foot in her mouth -- but the NRA will certainly be coming after McBath in her next election.
