NRA grades in TN
Tom Humphrey runs down the NRA grades:
Rowland was one of 21 state legislators to get a A+ rating from the NRA in 2008. This can’t hurt her prospects for the next ratings.
Of the 21 rated A+ by the NRA, 16 are Republicans and five are Democrats. Only five legislators, all Democrats, got an F rating.
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey is one of the A+ Republicans. Among the host of lawmakers with the less prestigious simple A rating was House Speaker Kent Williams.
