Open letter to Ted Nugent - I’ll join the NRA when . . .

[Pathfinder]

Interesting open letter to Ted Nugent from the JPFO about the NRA. NB: I am a Life Member of the NRA.

http://www.jpfo.org/articles-assd02/nugent-open-letter.htm

FTA: "We at JPFO recently received a letter from an angry and very articulate fellow who took the vast majority of gun owners to task for not being NRA members. He rightly points out that there are more than eighty million gun owners and only five million members of any pro-gun organization, the NRA obviously being the largest.

Ted, the day I’ll join the NRA is…

1. When the NRA announces, from the rooftops, that the police have NO LEGAL DUTY to protect the average American citizen. Time after time, our courts have upheld this. If every American understood this, we would see gun ownership, and Second Amendment awareness, burgeon across our nation. The tide would resolutely turn in our favor.

One of JPFO’s finest projects was the book “Dial 911 and Die”. It is meticulously documented with actual court cites. Why didn’t the NRA, years ago, publish this material in a reader friendly format for nationwide distribution?"

And it goes on from there, raising some very disturbing points. It certainly reinforces the occasional opinion that the NRA is more about lining the pockets of LaPierre et al., than it is about ensuring the enforcement of our rights.

WOW 

And people get mad at the NRA for being "too strong and uncompromising."  I can't say that I disagree with his letter and beliefs.  How many times have we been reminded that if we were stronger we would be more effective by comparing us to the homosexual and abortion rights people?

I also find it wise that they wrote to Ted Nugent on this, because he is probably the person that is doing most of what they ask already.

I've said it before and I'll be saying it again, but a clear cut defeat of the Anti's is not in NRA's best interest.
NRA is the largest single voice we have but there is a point where the best interests of gun owners and lobbiests diverge.

I just spent a little time perusing the website for that organization, and they are saying basically the same things we're ALL saying on this forum.  THe time I spent there makes me respect and admire the organization, and wonder if one must be a jew to join, or if they'd take a good little* catholic boy like me.

Interesting about the NRA, Reagan, and the BATFE...

Hmmmm...

Is this really true? Not that there is a reason to doubt it, just wondering if the interpretation is accurate.
