        Greer, I've repeatedly made exactly that statement; both in
        widely-distributed print and public statements; as long as ten
        years ago. Are we getting to the (rediculous) point that
        everyone will be required to begin all public comment with a
        complete history of pro-Second Amendment activity and position?
        FWIW, my pro-gun activities occupy at least three hours of
        activity a day; and cost me at least $500.00 per month. I'm
        President of the Virginia "state" rifle association (VSSA); I'm
        on the BOD of NRA; on the BOD of the local Izaak Walton League,
        and their Legislative Affairs Director; Legislative Affairs
        Director of The Fairfax Rod & Gun Club; I'm an active
        instructor in a number of different disciplines; founder of a
        local junior rifle team; and I'm a firing member of the Virginia
        State Rifle Team, having won medals at the National
        Championships with *exactly* those rifles to which you refer.
        Within the past week, I have organized opposition and offered
        public testimony in three separate counties, opposing
        gun-control measures.
        I'd say my positions are pretty well documented; and I've earned
        my credentials fairly; through hard and extended work. Ernie P.
