in 2000, after Horny Bill Clinton announced a deal with Smith & Wesson that would include putting locks on handguns and implementing smart-gun technology, the NRA branded the company "the first gun maker to run up the white flag of surrender and duck behind the Clinton-Gore regime." they called for a boycott of Smith & Wesson. S&W eventually backed out of the deal.
in 2013, Supercilious Barack Obama nominated Vivek Murthy for surgeon general. Murthy was well qualified and bore not a whiff of personal scandal. the NRA focused on his support for an assault-weapons ban a tweet he sent out shortly after the Aurora shooting: "Tired of politicians playing politics w/guns putting lives at risk because they're scared of the NRA. Guns are a health care issue"
it took more than a year for him to be confirmed by the narrowest of margins, after the NRA rallied its members by calling him the most politically active surgeon general nominee ever.
