NRA (1990s) board member Leroy Pyle is a member of the Illinois Militia, a group he describes as "average Joes concerned about maintaining our nation's heritage." Pyle is a former San Jose, California police officer and at one time headed the NRA-funded Law Enforcement Alliance of America until he was forced out in a power struggle for control of the organization. The militia invited Pyle to join after he made a name for himself as systems operator for the Paul Revere Network, a Chicago, Illinois-based computer bulletin board he started in 1992. A listing of the files available on the network reveals its users' interest in America's militia movement. Users can download copies of files addressing such topics as "Frequently Asked Questions About Militias" or copies of the Resister, an underground newsletter that according to Time magazine "espouses the extreme positions that proliferate among right-wing militias."[6] Most recently, the bulletin board added a "militia conference." The Paul Revere Network also operates a web site. Sorry, gun cultist, don’t freak, but source is: http://www.vpc.org/nrainfo/study.html


That ugly cackler. She pulls her husband around like a pulltoy on a string. My friends and I say that if that ever happened to one of us and our wife did that, somebody would slip into the house one night and slit her throat. --Leroy Pyle, NRA board member, discussing Sarah Brady of Handgun Control, quoted in Davidson, Under Fire: The NRA and the Battle for Gun Control (Henry Holt & Company 1993)
