Not just the NRA but Mike's vision of the NRA is the test for
Ideological purity.   Mike would mostly likely litter some kittens if
the saw that we, of the Texas State Rifle Association sell, John
Ross's "Unintended Consequences" on our web site. Maybe gun owners in
California would be better served if they all started sending copies
to their legislators than wanting on Mike to save their rights.
