        Dave, NRA fought that battle all the way. NRA was widely
        criticized by some members because they refused to compromise by
        accepting the "assault weapon" ban, in exchange for dropping the
        10 round magazine limit from the bill. NRA stood on principle,
        we just got beat. That happens, sometimes. Talk with Tanya about
        that vote. Ernie P.
