The people in California who support RKBA have already lost.  The
people of California have spoken many times that they want more
Socialism.

The "grabbers" will find reasons regardless of what we do.

I'm on of those and I don't think Heston had anything to do with
Bush's election and I as NRA Life member think it's time Heston goes.

"Liberalism is extreme]y harmful in a revolutionary collective.
 It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion,
 causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary
 ranks of compact organization and strict discipline,
 prevents policies from being carried through and alienates
 the Party organizations from the masses which the
 Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency.
