JD>NRA: Shooting for a Million (with a big ol' target on it).

        About 2.8 million at present. And membership is picking back up,
        now that the threat is picking up. As Senator Craig told Senator
        Feinstein (when she was laughing about NRA's membership
        falling): "You can fix that with one bad gun bill". Ernie P.
