Shooter 2.5, Thanks for defending the NRA. I don't have the time or the resources right now to do so. I wish all the freedom loving people, who have a problem with some of the NRA's positions, join the NRA along with GOA, and JPF, and maybe a local group. The NRA is the biggest dog in town and gets noticed by the media and politicions.

As you have indicated their are numerous gun groups fighting the fight for the second amendment. GOA, JPF, SAF, CCW, KABA, and hundreds of other organizations.

My beef with Mr. Haas article is just one. Hate speech, rather than teamwork. Growing up on a farm give me one very important value. We treated our neighbors like brothers and sisters with respect. We are all neighbors in this process.

Mr Haas attack is not one of teamwork. Nor will he engage in debate of the issues. He has brought great damage to the values in NRA by using his given or self appointed titles in his piece.

Stevio perhaps you can debate this issue of hate speech.

I don't want to get into any kind of dispute with anyone on this issue. If you have an issue with Mr. Haas let him know about it. I'm not opposed to steering the NRA, but I also give them some slack too.

As for Mr. Halbrook's comment, I got that in an email a couple of weeks ago by some local gun activists, whom I deeply respect. I waited to see what the context it was stated in before I went off. I am not a lawyer so I have to trust that the Mr. Halbrook knows what he is doing. In D.C. you can't carry a gun from your bedroom to your living room. One thing we can learn from the liberals is that they are satisfied with taking small steps. I believe that is what is going on in the D.C. case.

We have a lot of passionate, dedicated people concerned about this issue, which you sound like you are one along with me. I don't want to lose anyone over miscommunication.
