National Association for Gun Rights Compared to Westboro Baptist Church

If you live in certain areas of Northwest Alabama, you've just received an advertising card from state senator Larry Stutts. The advertising material was paid for by the National Association for Gun Rights. We'd never heard of it, but some of the rhetoric on the card made us suspect it was hardly a legitimate group. This is where Google is our friend.

According to many sources, the NAGR is a "scam." The group wants money and little else. We noticed they even have their own store in which you can purchase overpriced merchandise. 

One criticism of the NAGR is that is spends an inordinate amount of money to send out literature attacking the NRA rather than supporting legitimate gun causes. Our favorite article called the NAGR the Westboro Baptist Church of gun advocates. My, my...and they support Doc Larry?

We have an idea that they support any Republican incumbent - even one voted the state Scumbag of the Year a few years ago. Feel free to do your own homework on the NAGR; the amount of conservative opposition to this group is a real eye opener.

That brings us to the mid-term election. Doc Larry or Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow? Who has supported both NWSCC and Bevill State? Hint: It wasn't Larry Stutts. Who has listened to Shoals citizens? Do we have to answer that? While we don't personally support a lottery, Rep. Morrow has an actual plan to aid education with funding from the lottery if one should materialize. 

No, you don't have to take our word about the two candidates any more than you have to on the NAGR. Simply Google. If you don't decide to vote for Rep. Morrow after that, you don't really care what happens to the Shoals and surrounding areas.

Endorsing a man who makes a thousand Larry Stuttses - Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow is the better choice for state senator.
