NP>taking legal guns really didn't do much of anything for crime except
NP>help it.
NP>I think the NRA itself isn't very convinced they should support the 2nd

NP>asking me if I thought they should defend the 2nd amendment?  The very
NP>idea that they think this is a question that should be asked I find

        Just because NRA asks you what you think, doesn't mean they
        don't know what they believe. They just want to know if
        you're with them; and letting you know they need your help. I
        would think you'd want to express your opinion. EP
NP>And finally, when some accuses a friend of being a freeloader for not

NP>with arms and the 2nd amendment.  Even if the sheppard is the NRA.

        Actually, I had figured that out. :-) I don't toe anyone else's
        line; why would I expect you to do so? Just don't forget the NRA
        is our main dog in this fight. Giving advice on how to fight is
        one thing; kicking your own dog while he's fighting is another.
        I don't think you're going to find too many "sheeple" on this
        side of the argument. As passionately as you believe in this
        cause, there are many others just as committed, just as
        dedicated, and just as involved. Ernie P.
