Gordon BallNASHVILLE – U.S. Senate Democratic nominee Gordon Ball is fighting back against his “F” rating by the National Rifle Association, accusing the powerful gun-rights group of putting out a “hit piece” on him without even contacting him.
“This comes as no surprise to me,” Ball said Friday. He said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., “has received NRA money for years.”
He added, “The NRA never contacted me, never asked me to fill out a questionnaire, and this is obviously a hit piece.”
Ball said he is a gun owner and strongly supports the Second Amendment.
“I just happen to have a D in front of my name on the ballot,” he said.
