They are part of the very reason that You,Me and All the rest of us that are NRA members need to stick with each other.

Agreed. Sorry, I think I did get your words wrong. Sorry.

What really steams me is the attitude that perhaps 33% of NRA members take...the ones who refuse to get involved in the politics because they hunt.

They all seem to blather this line:
Why does anybody need an assault rifle? Those things have no place in society....like my side by side shotgun does.... And yada yada yada.

You know how difficult it is to overcome this crap? I do, 'cause a huge portion of my kin up in Virginia feel this way. They're farm folks and voted for Clinton, 'cause their good Democrats.....DIXIEcrats. I hate to say it, but I'm afraid a good portion of the "Solid South" feel this way. I know, it's shortsighted and ridiculous, but if the RATS can find a way to merely fine tune their gun messages, we could be in big trouble....

I agree with you 100%. I've written many letters and made many phone calls to congress people and senators. I believe a couple of them like Sherrod Brown doesn't like to hear from me because I tell them things they don't agree with. Yes also on the hunters and the assualt rifles. Hunting is not the only purpose America uses guns. Also a lot of people don't seem to understand that all of those supposed semi-auto assualt rifles are not assualt rifles. Yes, all of this goes on and on; and these people don't seem to realize that they are helping the anti-gun faction with this trash. Don't worry we're both on the same page and Charlton Heston's statement is the only way I'm giving mine up "From My Cold Dead Hands".
