That JPFO and the NRA have different views on "gun control" is no secret; you can read our position -- and view supporting evidence -- at http://www.jpfo.org/alert20061211.htm . You can also read an article on the NRA's recent alignment with gun-prohibitionist Carolyn McCarthy at http://www.jpfo.org/smith-nra.htm .
And now, NRA Director Joaquin Jackson has publically stated that magazine capacities should be limited to five rounds and that "assault weapons [sic] should be limited to military or police." That's right -- a director of the supposedly pro-gun NRA wants to take YOUR semi-automatic rifles away.
Don't believe us? Think it's just a rumor? View the evidence for yourself at http://www.klru.org/texasmonthlytalks/archives/movies/jackson5_44k.mov (we also have it mirrored on the JPFO site at http://www.jpfo.org/joaquin.mov ).
Already the NRA apologists are coming out of the woodwork. Anyone who points out the hypocrisy of Jackson's position are denounced as "wackos", "black helicopter paranoids," and "just trying to make a buck."
It's time to "Humiliate and Repudiate" Joaquin Jackson and the NRA. Go to http://www.jpfo.org/handbill-joaquin.jpg to see our latest handbill. Print it out and distribute it to those who still believe the NRA is working in the interest of gun owners. They are not.
If you value the truth more than betrayal and want an aggressive defense of your natural and Second Amendment rights, visit http://www.jpfo.org/member.htm to learn how you can join JPFO. We encourage you to use our "gun control" destroying books and videos ( http://shop.jpfo.org ) and get on board with us today.

Please tell me they fired him as he left the stage or whatever venue he said this.
As I have said previously, I am not trying to get anyone to leave the NRA. If you decide to stay, work inside the system to get them to fix the issues they have. Push for turning interviews, etc. into educational experiences for the viewers. Push for Eddie the Eagle program (or a new program) that educates kids as to what the 2nd truely means, that people have the right to all firearms (full auto and military style semi autos included), etc. Teaching gun safety to kids is not enough to ensure that future gun control does not happen. Push for executives, directors, etc. to use the same talking points to prevent this from happening again. They need to remember that what they say and do can severely affect the perception of the NRA and could be used by the antis against gun owners. Push for gradually less compromise (will not be able to happen all at once), while educating members, until it becomes no compromise. There are other things that could be done that I am missing, but that is a start.
You claim to know all about the workings of the NRA (4 million members)but know nothing of the workings of the JPFO with it's hierarchy of ONE! Seems plausible...And what did happen to the good rabbi?
I have a five-year membership, so I’ll have plenty of time to send back their donation appeals with 00 dollars and explaining why, so that one day, NRA will not be construed as Not Really Americans.
Now that is no way to talk to the almighty king of the NRA. The NRA after all has millions of members so how dare you criticize them, what do you think that they are some “flea sh!t” organization?
I have heard that he still has the position 2 years later, can’t say for sure.
No one “let” Jackson on the Board. He was elected. I’ve already covered the procedure to remove him in earlier posts.
Interesting take on the matter. You've neglected to take into account that as this becomes more widely known (and it will) the NRA stands to lose a few hundred thousand members (myself included). If this un-American scumbag remains on the board I'm finished with the NRA.
Have already explained procedure to remove him in earlier post. If that is what MEMBERSHIP decides, then it will be done. Not by an edict of one, like JPFO.
You are wrong.
Umm.... I have not just joined FR lately, been here a while. Full of suggestions and deep thoughts? Yup, always have and always will. I have had my share of fights because of my suggestions, but I have learned to temper my suggestions as I have gotten older (not because I can’t fight anymore, just because I have a family).
Where have I claimed to know the workings of the NRA or where I have claimed to know JPFO’s workings, please provide quotes.
I have been reading about the rabbi, not all done yet. So far I am only finding a one sided explaination, which may be ok with you, so I may not make a definate view due to that.
Well.....if this clown is re-elected to the board......the NRA will never receive another dime from me. I will actively work to discourage potential new members from joining and post that video link to every gun forum I frequent.
Thank you for making my point. You are "researching" the rabbi issue. That says it all. How can you not know the inner workings of an org. you are promulgating when the management consists of ONE????
Yet you know NRA needs to do this, and NRA needs to do that. Ya. And Jackson is an "idiot." And the NRA is probably responsible for stealing your homework.
Please see post 251
Are you going to quit after you petition to throw him off the board, or before?
Please provide quotes of where I have been pushing any group or stated that people should quit the NRA?
I would like to hear everyones comments on what I have suggested that the NRA do, especially from current NRA members.
I also welcome comments from members of other groups (donozark are all small groups “flea shit”?) about my suggestions/ideas and whether they feel that I have pushed for any single group in my comments?
If he is still on the board when my annual membership expires I won’t renew.
I've attempted to bring you up to speed on some of the problems facing JPFO over the years, which you were ignorant of. The mere fact that you must "research" such matters proves that it is YOU that must educate yourself.
I don't enjoy taking apart someone who claims to be pro-RKBA. So I'll not go any further in embarrassing you. You make it so easy.It's Sunday. The Sabbath. So have a nice day and please find time to read up on the issues I have placed before you.
