For comparison, Gun Owners of America (GOA), which has probably surpassed the NRA as the most trusted national gun rights organization, rates only federal candidates and uses an A through F format like school grades, rates Laurie Bucjhout (R) in the 1st Congressional District as an "A" and Democrat Don Davis as an "F". In the 3rd District they rate Greg Murphy (R) as an A- and give no rating to George Cormos (L).

Troxler has played around with liberals for quite a while, serving as head of Farmers for John Edwards during liberal trial lawyer Edwards Democrat run for US Senate. He has crossed swords with gun rights supporters due to his refusal to allow trained and vetted concealed carry permit holders to carry at the State Fair, which is under his department.
Briner is employed by former New York liberal Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is a leading funder of gun control groups. Gun rights supporters have always been highly suspicious of him. Boliek is a very close ally of Briner and the two have campaigned jointly. Boliek and Briner are also close political allies of liberal RINO Senate boss Phil Berger, who killed the Constitutional Carry bill in the last legislative session. Constitutional Carry was the top legislative goal of Grassroots NC and of several national gun rights groups.
It would have been surprising if any of this threesome would have gotten the support of gun rights supporters.
