Ah, another clueless anti-gunner. Sorry, the fund-raising letter in question was not "in the wake of the Oklahoma City Bombing", it was written and mailed *before* that event. Nice try. And contrary to your poorly worded implication, it didn't refer to all "law enforcment [sic] agents" as "jack-booted government thugs", it merely expressed concerns about those who *did* deserve such a label. And some do. Elsewhere, you describe George Bush as a "lifelong" member of the NRA. Wrong again. His membership was of very recent vintage, acquired to curry favor when he was running for office.
