Thus Spake jbragg@mason2.gmu.edu (John W Bragg):

%Page 83, referring to La Pierre speaking at the annual convention
%in I think 1995. 
%"Unlike Knox, who panders to the extremes, LaPierre made the hard
%call, telling the NRA annual convention in MAy that the association
%would have nothing to do with anyone 'who supports--or even 
%fantasizes about--terrorism [or] insurrection." There is "a 
%difference between 3.5 million united NRA members, and some 
%scattered band of paranoid hatemongers.  And if someone in this
%room doesn't know the difference, then there's the door."  

Given this more accurate restatement of the NRA's position, I withdraw most of
my comments in that regard.
