I'm a gun owner, NRA member and gun board moderator and I'll vote for Rudy right after hell freezes over...
GHWB earned an NRA "no endorsement" and droves of the membership voted Perot... Want to watch that happen again? Nominate Rudy, we're in a really foul mood.
If what you describe happens again, if gun owners flock to some hopeless third party, then they will have *only* themselves to blame for the state they'll be in after a Democrat WH victory. Frankly, I think most gun owners are smarter than that.
