He informed me that he is going to bite the bullet and join the NRA finally because they ARE the most effective at convincing dc and state lawmakers to not do dumb shit regarding guns. He is going to make up for it by donating an extra $35 to Obama to help counter the RW bullshit. I'm going to do the same thing I think. Any amongst us who already are NRA members should maybe try to work on the NRA to stick to guns and leave the hate speech to the anti-abortionists, the anti-gay lobby, and the various racism lobbies.
