Hell no! I'm not abandoning the NRA (although it looks like they are trying to abandon me). Here is the latest reply from NRA-ILA: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
To what, exactly, do you object? Is it that we have successfully worked to pass
reckless lawsuit preemption laws that prohibit cities from suing gun
manufacturers, and that we continue to promote such legislative reforms, or that
we are not sure of the viability of the SAF lawsuit, and are therefore not
willing to get involved in a potentially losing legal battle? The success or
failure of the suit would not be affected by NRA involvement.
NRA remains steadfast in its opposition to gun control, and we hope that we can
work with you in support of our right to keep and bear arms. If you have any
questions or concerns regarding areas where you feel we are "giving in,"
however, please be sure to let us know, and we will be happy to set the record
straight.[/quote]Does anyone care to address these comments? Please write to:
ila-contact@nrahq.org and tell them what you think. Be sure to include your member number so they know the complaints are from dues paying members.
(An aside: I just received my "Y2K compliant" card today. They mis-spelled my name. I've only been a member since 1973. I really worry about the internal lack of QA/QC in the most powerful lobbying organization in the US.)
