Homestead mailing list

I have been a Life Member Of the NRA for years.  I really do not understand 
this endorsement.  There are few Republicans that the NRA has seemed ,over 
the years, to dislike more than McCain.  He has been on the cover of my 
monthly mag more than once, and it has not been favorable.  While he isn't 
Chuck Schumer, he is certainly not a good friend to the freedom of gun 
ownership.

The reasons that he ,personally, doesn't own guns is his private business.  I 
believe its probably related to war and war injuries (he couldn't lift a long 
gun horizontal).  But, he is as much in favor of more restrictive sales (Fed. 
Law application, including sporting gun shows, which will have many 
un-intended consequence) as is Obama.

  With a Democrat congress , expect more laws to be added to the existing 
tens of thousans of current laws, concerning natural & second ammendment 
rights.  If I could get my money back, I'd leave the NRA.  They have become 
too blasted mainstream.  Watch, Obama will join the NRA  , next (and if his 
poll numbers slip, maybe next week <g> ) ...bobford
