**I just noticed the sign on the front porch. "We don't dial 911". That's Classic!**
The NRA is going up in 10 battleground states with an featuring a tough-talking Chuck Norris touting the Second Amendment and warning against those unnamed politicians who have not supported gun rights.
"He’s an American badass," said Chris Cox, the NRA's chief lobbyist, of Norris.
Cox wouldn't say how much they were spending on the ad, but that it would be on broadcast and cable, cycled into a seven-figure buy they have up now.
They'll air the spot in Colorado, Nevada, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

"This ad is showing that this issue is important in races all over country from state legislature all the way up to the presidential," said Cox, explaining the broad theme.
The spot is pure Norris camp, reminiscent of his popular primary ad for Mike Huckabee.
