Endowment Member here who was a part of the old Neil Knox faction way back when. The entire leadership needs to go and I personally have a problem with so many directors coming from liberal gun-control states. Sometimes I wonder if those people are more worried about what their neighbors think of them than the Constitution.
Same here. Joined in '56 and worked my way up to Benefactor. Still dunned for more contributions, including leaving them something in my will. No thanks. Money now goes to GOA.
I was turned off on Pierre years ago, during the Koresh siege. He was on a TV show with Schumer, talking about the gun fight. Schumer held up a 50 cal BMG round and said "This is a 50MM cartridge, which is what Koresh is using.", then held up a 9mm round and said "This is a 9MM cartridge which is what the FBI is using."
I clapped my hands, figuring Pierre would tear him apart on that, along the lines of "This man either doesn't know what he's talking about, or is a liar - in which case he shouldn't be making gun laws."
NADA. Pierre just sat there like a bump on a log. Not a freaking word in rebuttal. I nearly had a stroke. From then on, when an NRA article praising Pierre's work came out, I gagged and passed on reading it.
Some months later, I just happened to catch a newscast about Schumer and one of the pols came up to him and said "Nice work on that 50MM." and he just gave that slimy smirk he always gives. I could have punched the tube.
