Not a bad idea, actually

Let the NRA run America. Its Board of Directors has had no sex or economic scandals, works for no pay, does its job in nine days out of the year, and has numbered plenty of Medal of Honor winners among its ranks. Of course to be fair, Gun Owners of America, Second Amendment Foundation, and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership should also get seats. And we could turn over California to CalGuns, and New York to NYSRPA for an equally beneficial effect. The shortest route to honest and efficient government! Which is of course why it will never be done.

I'm all for it BUT seems to me that however scandal free the current Board and officers might be - there was an Executive Vice President not too long ago who had to be fired for zipper issues and of course a heck of a nice guy with wide stance issues so the criterion mentioned has issues.

Imagine Ted Nugent in charge of US State Department's Protocol bureau?

What would we give the British Prime Minister instead of an IPOD of speeches?

Or a gift for Vlad instead of a mislabeled stop button stolen from a swiss hotel's hot tub?

RD: remember the picture of Vlad ridding the bear, now picture Ted knocking him off the bear and wrestling with it (the bear not Vlad)

Sorry, but the NRA has sold me and other gun lovers, gun rights proponents, and The Constitution down the river too many times for me to want to put it in charge.
As for how they treat their members personally - are we willing to forget so soon the number of times they picked a locale and a venue for their Annual Meeting where guns were not allowed?
They are no better than the present bunch.

stay safe.

I would be all for it only if Uncle Wayne's life rule of the NRA were terminated.
