4. PLEASE, SOMEONE, MENTION THE LAND-GRABBERS TO THE HUNTERS IN THE NRA!!!

I dearly hope that whatever Democratic staffer is in charge of refuting the NRA's attacks would remember that a lot of the Republicans the NRA backs are also guys and gals who are gung-ho for selling off national parks and national forests and thus closing them off to hunters and fishermen. As I recall, not only some of the Tea Party congressional reps in places like Utah have spoken in favor of selling national parks, but the Donnie himself has mentioned the idea at least once.

I realize that many progressives have little in common with hunters and fishermen. But those of us environmentalist-minded activists hope that someone reminds the hunters in the NRA's constituency that the NRA's leadership has lost touch with a lot of the NRA's membership and that the Donald's agenda isn't good for them.
