Is Mr. Frederick still President of the NRA? If he was, you might have a point. Since he’s probably been dead for 50 years, you don’t

Good point. The 2nd Amendment, like the Constitution, is a living,evolving,breathing document.

All the dead men who wrote and implemented it, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison,Washington, et. al. are not relevant to the needs and beliefs of the current generation.

Mr. Frederick's heirs and assigns are completely in charge of the current NRA, just as they have been for the past half century.

You bet I am proud to join groups like the JFPO who aggressively defend the Constitution.

Best regards,

Well, I wouldn’t put Frederick in the same category as the founding fathers, but if you choose to, that’s your privilege, just like sending money to fringe groups who don’t accomplish anything but fund raising. At least you’re not sending your disposable income to sara brady.

The NRA was a target-shooting group until the first gun controls became onerous in the 60’s, and they have led the fight for the 2nd Amendment since then.
