And who the hell is Bob Johnson?
Exactly how does he, a solitary individual, claim to better represent the "majority" of gun owners better than various hard-core gun-rights groups whose combined member lists number in the tens-of-millions? Example: The NRA has between 3.5 and 4 million members alone.

I wouldn't exactly call the NRA a "hard core" group. When Bill Clinton proposed ten new gun regulations, Wayne LaPierre supported nine of them. They are, IMHO, a slippery slope, in and of themselves. There is no doubt they have done some good work over the years but they have failed to take a strong 2nd Ammendment stance and that weakness has cost us much. I get notices from Gun Owners of America long before issues are voted on, while there is time to head them off. NRA/ILA on the other hand seems to prefer to report on how the vote went.
