I am one of those members.  I have one question that I
would like answered by the leadership of the NRA:

HAVE YOU MANAGED TO LEARN -ANYTHING- YET?

Gun control by definition is a lie.  Anyone who proposes it,
supports it or claims it does more good than harm is a liar.

Why do you support liars, help pass their bills and then
complain that they don't have any principles because they
went back on what they "said" they would do?

I believe that a law that required a delay that we FOUGHT
and lost to would be better than a registration system that
we SUPPORTED and won.
