        Fall out? There was fall out? Guess I didn't notice. Nolan
        apparently isn't going to be convinced NRA is doing the best
        they can (which, IMHO, is pretty good); so what other options do
        we have other than agreeing to disagree? Upsetting him won't
        help us, and may harm him. And no matter what others may think,
        I believe you can't wound any pro-gun people without wounding
        the pro-gun cause; which wounds all of us. That doesn't mean you
        don't hit back when hit; it means you refrain from initiating
        that kind of discussion. And when you must discuss such matters,
        you do so as gentlemen. Hope you agree. Ernie P.
