"Why Is The Oil Industry Giving Millions To The NRA?"

Posted by David Hardy · 30 April 2014 05:19 PM

That's the title of this hyperventilating article. It centers upon the fact that Clayton Williams Energy Inc. gave a million to NRA, and suggests that oil and gas interests are trying to influence the Association to oppose habitat and suchlike issues.

Clue: Clayton Williams Energy was founded by (you guessed it) Clayton Williams, whose hunting career is staggering even by Safari Club standards, and who presumably really likes guns.

The city folk on the east and west coast just can't understand the concept of not buying a piece of meat that was grown in a factory. . . if they only knew the truth of how it all works. Just because someone likes to hunt and tries to do some good with their money rather than infringe on the constitution they have to cook up a story out of thin air.

Clayton Williams sounds like the type of person we actually need on our side.

Stories like this promote the reputation of NRA development people who fundraise for those mega gifts. The attention ends up raising even more money for the movement, as other business leaders realize what they can do too. It's not all about the $10 and $20 at a time stuff.
