WASHINGTON -- While the Tea Party folks bring their protest to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight on Saturday, Reid will be throwing a little party of his own at the new shooting range he helped build just north of Las Vegas.
Reid will be welcoming gun enthusiasts, including National Rifle Association executives Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox, to the Clark County Shooting Park on Saturday for the official grand opening of the facility -- believed to be among the nation's largest.
The majority leader was instrumental in developing the $61 million park on 3,000 acres of federal lands that citizens had wanted for decades. Funding came mainly from Southern Nevada public lands management legislation Reid has championed while in Congress that allows unused federal lands to be sold with money returned to help Nevada communities.
The shooting range began operations in January. It is open Wednesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and costs $7 a day to shoot rifles, pistols and archery, or $6 for shotgun rounds.
Saturday we should all try to go out to the new Shooting Park and show our support of the park. The park is long overdue and offers people an excellent place to go and safely shoot their weapons.
you have got to love harry reid...
he never backs down...
when will the stupid pathetic ugly lying always making a threat or fear mongering republican children learn...
hee hee hee...
I really like Harry and find the idiotic, vitriolic. and more sad than anything else. Harry has done much for our State and for the Nation, so I say, Give them Hell Harry
I like how the republicants cry about Obama and the liberals taking our guns away!!!!
Heh. Good for our Harry! Those teabaggers are just running scared. They can't handle a real debate on... Well, on anything.
Those of us who actually live here know who our real friends are, and Harry Reid has always been there when we needed him. We'll be there for him this year.
Tarkanian and Lowden had a cat fight on one of the mourning blowhard hate-talk radio shows, then the host had a kiss up interview with John Ensign who briefly came out of hiding. (questions were pre-screened at a secret lunch meeting at Ensign's parent's house. Party favors were past out in envelopes.
Tarkanian is a gun grabber and Lowden does not allow her employees to conceal carry at her casino, even if they have a permit. I would think the more people with guns, (especially CCW permitted) the safer one would be.
At least Harry Reid is a 2ND Amendment supporter.
Awesome! I did not know that Reid supported our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. My libertarian side just tends to follow a political heuristic when it comes to Democrats, particularly of the more influential variety, and presume that they are anti-gun or have some sentiment that goes too far into regulation for my comfort. Coupled with my fiscal conservative, socially moderate frustration with the suddenly ultra-right wing bent and gross exaggerations of Republicans, that was putting me in quite the lose-lose crux.
Anyway, two questions...
Where exactly is this range located? Apparently it's too new to be on Google Maps. Also, does anyone know if they sell target rounds on-site or if it's BYOA?
TeaPartyExress.org Rally in Harry "Backdoor" Reid's home town of Searchlight, Nevada. Later same day, rally in Las Vegas. Join us in taking back our state. It's time to fire Harry Reid!
If there is one thing that Nevada Republicans and Democrats agree on, it is our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms - this is the one issue where the Red and Blue become solid PURPLE - LOL!
Our Public Administrator, John J. Cahill (yep, he's a Democratic brother) had the vision long ago to start the Nevada Outdoor Democratic Caucus for those Democrats that love this beautiful, grand country and are outdoor enthusiasts and enjoy the many shooting sports. When I Founded the Nevada Democratic Veterans Caucus, John was one of the first to reach out and support vets - it was a natural match sharing a bound of our love for country and the U. S. Constitution!
Harry Reid has always been a loyal supporter of all Nevadans who believe strongly in our rights to keep and bear arms as responsible citizens!
Just another major reason, on a long list, of why we should re-elect Harry Reid as the Senior Senator from Nevada!
Of course, Sen. Reid supports the Second Amendment as does. Congresswoman Dina Titus.

Follow Decatur north. You can't miss it.

It's funny. Harry Reid gets a gun park created, the head of the NRA comes to open it, and Reid is against gun rights? Only a right-winger incapable of a coherent or an independent thought could come up with that one.
Mred: That was too funny. I love the line about party favors in envelopes. I think I am gonna let senator ensign screw my wife so I can get an under the table pay off...errr I mean gift.
Thanks, ShannonK! I was just losing hope for an answer when I got to your comment; not that I'd blame anyone, putting a question at the end of a diatribe as I did.
Thanks again, and great link!
Yeah awesome I have all of these guns, but my kid died of cancer because it took a year to get diagnosed, and my life savings has been redistributed to every entitlement parasite in the country. Yes we can!
Yes, Harry Reid has been a Gun Rights supporter for many years. I personally don't like guns, but they are legal. Another thing that too many people get wrong... Harry Reid doesn't agree with abortion. It is his personal belief and I respect him for his beliefs, but he's also said he stands behind the law of the land.
I have the utmost respect for Sen Reid.
And our Cub Scout troupe is very thankful for everything he's done for them.
I don't like the Tea-Bagers, but the hatred of opposing views needs to stop. I can disagree with someone who has a different point of view without hating them or wanting harm to come to them.
Most of the Tea-Bagers are just scared. But the AM radio nut-jobs they listen to are the ones that got them scared in the first place.
It's time to put the AM radio nut-jobs in there place. Let's just leave Rush, Heidi, Glenn and all the other idiots in there own little world and put up a big wall around the AM spectrum and let them eat each other alive.
I read today that Harry will be in Searchlight on Saturday morning hosting a meet and greet with doughnut holes and -- get this -- tea for the tea partiers.
From what is being said on the news the Tea Party Rally in Searchlight is one of the worst organized and planned events in recent history. Not enough hotel rooms, not enough RV spots, the houseboat renal companies are, along with all the other businesses in Searchlight are skinning the wallets of the Tea Baggers. I think everyone in this state needs to consider the Tea Parties' organizational skills before putting them back into position to run this country again. We should all realize they are simply Republicans in oddball gift wrap.
I love the fact that the head of the NRA will be with Sen. Reid opening a shooting park forwarded by Harrys' hard work.
To add to thethinker's last paragraph, Wayne LaPierre's work to defend and pioneer liberty is unbounded by ideological prejudice. When seeking the liberties our founding fathers intended, our country would do well to follow the likes of Wayne LaPierre as opposed to teabaggers' ilk, which truly are "Republicans in oddball giftwrap" since they pick and choose the liberties they favor based on rigid ideological bias and therefore prejudice. True freedom-fighting patriots want to see liberty for all responsible citizens, not just those whose passions and pocketbooks share the same ideological motives and basis.
NRA members pay their dues so that the NRA can support gun owner's rights. The NRA has never let other issues divert their efforts away from gun owner's rights. The NRA will endorse Harry Reid because he has a long history of supporting gun owner's right and will be in a strong position to support those rights in the future.
Gee. They make it sound like the shooting park was all Pinkie's idea. All he did was make it possible for federal land sales profits to go to the state and not the federal government.
Edgewise, GREAT TIP!
"I read today that Harry will be in Searchlight on Saturday morning hosting a meet and greet with doughnut holes and -- get this -- tea for the tea partiers."
That is outstanding. Just outstanding!
I hope Harry also offers Tropical Punch Kool-Aid.
Can you just picture it???
Served with a BIG SMILE!!!
What upsets me is that our countrys Senate majority leader instead of spending his time finding ways to help our citizens who are unemployed get back to work, he seems to be applying his time sponsoring immigration reform bills, making sure undocumented immigrants are included in our health care bill, and making sure that the undocumented get unemployment checks instead of deportation notices. He is so smart. If he can make sure that the undocumented are being treated right, they won't leave cause they alrerady have a job or when things pick up they'll be here and get a job. Unemployment checks sponsored by our government to undocumented aliens, because of the leadership one of one Senator, wants the undocumented aliens to stay and take jobs away from needing Citizens. You know they are illegal and your giving them checks, instead of deportation notices for being in our country illegally breaking federal laws. Any more of Harry Reids leadership and our country will be no more. Is this the kind of action we are to expect from a senior leader whom we voted into office to make the citizens lives better, but instead is spending time on the federal lawbreakers in our state and country. How can he say he's helping us when he's helping citizens from other countries first. Mr. Reid you are giving yourself the label of being a conflict of interest czar. You want to be re-elected? In which country?
Hey Harry, You didn't forget to put Dick Cheney's name on the to invite list for this weekends party, did you?
Harry Reid approves this message.
Harry got through college as a Capital Policeman in Washington DC and still practices on the Senate range with his revolver...........
So there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harry Reid is pathetic. Nice job of transparency and reaching across the isle. You people are losing your freedoms and do not seem to care. If our Govt would reduce taxes and regulations,(basically get out of the way) our citizens would blossom and business would thrive, then more people would be hired and have money. Paying an insurance premium would be an after thought. These people like Harry Reid have broken you down. It is pretty sad that they throw you a bone like healthcare and you are happy now. Remember your fellow American citizens who are paying for it and thank them - NOT Harry Reid.
Come on Tea Party lets lead by example!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell these socialist that we will not accept socialized medicine and refuse to burn our children and grandkids money. The first stand will be repealing the prescription drug benefit that socialist bush & co enacted. We are not welfare Kings and Queens we are Americans we pay for our own medicine, we are not sissy Frenchman, we are rugged individuals who earn our own keep. Only by rejecting this socialized medicine program do we have any moral authority to demand ending this "reform bill" without appearing hypocrites who have ours and are afraid our ox is being gored by expanding programs.
This socialism is killing us!
The total expenditures of the program for 2008 $49.3 (billions). Projected net expenditures from 2009 through 2018 are estimated to be $727.3 billion.[26]

We cant keep spending our kids and grand children future for people who failed to plan for retirement and feel some sense of entitlement to retirement.
November will come and alot of these idiots will be voted out. Alot of the Dems in office are so corrupt it makes me sick. They will get what they have coming soon!!
I never cared much for Harry untill all the commotion of late. Now I not only support him and his agenda, I like the guy!
Give em hell Harry!
Let's support our brothers and sisters in Searchlight as they are invaded by the crazies. Unfortunately, the media will showcase these nut cases and their ill cause and you can "betcha" they won't clean up after themselves.
I say tighten the slot machines at the casinos and take their money.
If reid did that, he's not as bad as I thought! Good job! (Back to reality) Not!
So much for Dems taking your guns away. lol
Wanna bet ol' outdated Harry has rounded up the SEIU union goons to face off with the Teabaggers? That they will start hassles, make claims of being spat on and called a racist name? Then blame it all on the teabaggers...yep, that's the vision I have...stay tuned.
The SEIU goons have already started running campaign ads for Dina Titus here. Interesting, to say the least...
Hell no to Harry and Titus...your "civil rights" Obamascam is your last hurrah. Look for another job as you won't retain the one you now have, union goons or not.
Those "racial" comments supposedly made in DC were made by a plant by the left....if made at all.
Hitler did this when he burned down one of Germany's gov. buildings prior to taking power and blamed the other side....
Funny how the left screams when anyone says something they don't like...But in the lefts' eyes, it's okay to defame anyone connected to the right.
Look what they did to Sara Palin---It's ok to make fun of her baby with Down's. They did it with Dan Quail too with the spelling of potato.
Now when Al Gore didn't recognize a bust of George Washington in a museum,and said, "Who is this gentleman?? and the reporter or whoever said , "It's George Washington." The media never played on that. They dropped it like a hot potato, no pun intended.
Now if a Rebulican asked, "Who is this gentleman?" (which was George Washington), then the liberal media would have been calling him an idiot until the next election....
That's why the liberal media is losing viewers, and more and more viewers are going to Fox. People are fianlly on to them---thanks to the internet too!
I went to the Tea Baggers little anti-health care rally in front of Caesars Palace a few months ago. What a racist bunch of older Americans. They chased after my daughter who is part native American telling her to go back where she came from. Another person told me I was going to hell. These people were crazed and not interested in free of expression. I was called a commie, a socialist etc. Most of these Tea Baggers were recipients of Medicare and could not see the irony of their anti-socialist statements.
I'm an American Patriot and proud of it. I also like target shooting. My experience with Tea Baggers,in person and on these blogs is that they are ignorant, intolerant individuals. They also tend to be red necks who spew alot of hate.
There are always a few nuts in a large group. You libs have many more nuts though.
Is he really that out of touch with reality? The tea party shows up in his home town and he doesn't feel he should be there? He shows up at a shooting range instead.
Sarah Palin and over 10,000 Tea Partiers vs. Harry Reid and a hometown crowd of 100.
WOW!
Bye bye, Dingy Harry!
