I’ll be very disappointed if he isn’t fired immediately. This is some stupid old cop who thinks he should dictate what guns people should own. I’m an NRA life member, and I’m going to contact the NRA about this immediately. This idiot is damaging to our cause, and gives ammunition (and more than 5 rounds) to our enemies and to the fringe groups that use NRA-bashing as a fund-raising tool.
It's not that simple. He's not an employee of the NRA, he's a member of the board of directors, or was when the video was made. Now I'm sure there are provisions for removing a director, but it would have to be the other board members, not the management, such as Wayne LaPierre, who *are* employees of the NRA.
But it's still not quite even that simple. The Management pretty much packs the board, by selection of the "Winning Team" and major advertising campaigns in the NRA pubs for that slate and sometimes against other "non blessed" candidates. Although a few "rebels" do manage to get onto the board as well, such as Neal Knox, back in the day when he was still around. (Neal was formerly head of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, the Lobbying "branch" of the NRA and a former Vice President. )
BTW, the interview with Jackson took place on June 5, 2005, so it's not exactly breaking news. But here's a Recent update (2007 August 31) From Neal's son Jeff at the Firearms Coalition. The link provides Jackson's "retraction". But my read is that Jackson is an old and somewhat easily confused/lead astray old man. I'm inclined to cut him a break, given his illustrious history as a Texas Ranger, and even cut the NRA a little break for "encouraging" and probably ghost writing his retraction.
Better get used to your disappointment. The original interview was in June of 2005, and Joaquin is still on the NRA board, but as I said above, it isn't a simple matter of firing him, he's a member of the board, not an employee.
