WHat did you expect from the NRA?
As a Libertarian I think Harry reid is an evil bastard. When you only look at alternatives for gun rights though, supporting Harry does seem to have its advantages.
Harry is far more pro gun than other potential senate democrats if they keep the majority in the senate. Could you imagine what Barbara boxer or John Kerry would do compared to Harry?
This is very much the NRA political chess game. It is the reason that I use a SAF scorecard instead of an NRA scorecard.
The sad part of this is that even if you are an NRA life member you will not have any influence. The NRA board thinks they know better than us mere members. Pathetic leadership, but you can expect nothing less from Negotiate your Rights Away gangsters.

Smart reply, goes into the false perception that republicans are more pro gun that democrats. I just believe they regulate them all differently.

You can't guarantee that a Dem is anti-gun; and you can't guarantee a member of the GOP is pro-gun. However, on average, a Democrat-controlled legislature will be much more anti-gun than a Republican-controlled legislature.
Let the numbers show you. Check the link. All but two of the F's are Dems.

Harry Ried: The gun-owners' pal??
I am barely able to keep up with local politics, and those of you from Alexandria VA know why. It's like a food-fight under a blanket. But I have heard that Reid has been very pro-2A as far as he could swing it politically. My neighbor's kid has one of those magic 8-balls, however; and by using that plus the internet and listening to John Batchelor, I have been able to dope out maybe what Wayne's World is thinking:
Ried did try and stop some few very anti-gun measures. Nevada is much more 2A friendly than Illinois, after all; and as Senate Majority Leader he is much preferable to his likely replacement, Dick (how apropos!) Durbin of Illinois. My best guess is that the NRA believes the DemonRatz will retain control of the Senate, and if so they want an ally in the Majority Leader's office.
The Senate Majority Leader is a very powerful person. And I must agree that if I had to choose between Durbin and Ried for that post I would choose Reid in a heartbeat. Reid is just a fool. Durbin is a dangerous Statist.
However, I do not agree with the NRA on this matter. If conservatives take enough seats in the Senate, then anything the Ratz try will be handily filibustered. I remember one smarmy progressive who admonished me, when the Republicans took the Senate: "Remember, you need sixty votes to get anything done!" We need Republicans who will man up and show them that the sauce they made for the goose can be poured on gander meat as well. If the Ratz remain in control of the Senate, the solution is to force the true majority leader on them: Mister Phil E. Buster.
Sez me.

my understanding is that they don't believe sharron angle would prevail in a matchup. if dirty harry were to fall, and the dems retain the senate (likely) then lil chuckie schumer would likely replace dirty harry {shudder}.
so it looks more like trying to prevent the coronation of a piece of schumer...
