It seems so random lol. Why give the FCC commissioner some NRA-related award? Why does the NRA care about things like telecommunications policy? Also this goes without saying but it's kind of funny Pai gets a reward for repealing a policy that has extremely high support among the public, although that is something the NRA is used to.

This is an even worse PR move than calling for more guns to be brought into schools after every mass shooting.

This is actually a huge deal, it means that the NRA has decided to follow in the footstepes of the religious right and debase itself for the Republican party.

The deplorables are gathering together for their (or civilization's) last stand.

How does accepting an award from a special interest group which has interest in censoring opposing views not against FCC ethics?
