I'm a member of the National Rifle Association. What happens is I begin feeling bad for not supporting 2nd Amendment rights, sign up, put up with the backwater babble for a year or so, then let the membership expire after reading the American Rifleman month after month and can no longer tolerate flashbacks from the late 1950's.
It's 4 million members make it the biggest firearm aficiando organization in the country, but that's only because someone with half a finger on the pulse of the modern day gun owner hasn't stepped in to ship the NRA'ers off to retirement. Dozens of gun magazines and hundreds of websites have diluted what used to be the only game in town, and turned it into something for the fogies to drool over, leaving the younger...anyone under 50...crowd shaking their heads and wondering where the Glock pictures went. Not that I'm advocating turning the NRA into the 2nd Amendment equivalent of ESPN, but sweet georgia brown the pictures are horrid, the articles clipped and hurried through as if jotting down a few interesting things to say was just too much for the old timers, and the selection of what's hot, what's new, and/or what's just flat out interesting must be in the hands of Elmer Keiths ghost as channeled by whatever fake medium has gotten the staffs attention lately.
Anyhoot, they feature an interesting...yawn...monthly list of responses from armed citizens and since I was shocked to learn that otherwise intelligent people hadn't a clue about how very many people defend themselves on a daily basis I thought to scan the Rifleman page and set it up here. Might be readable, might be not, but I'm giving it a shot. Next entry that is, or Google will 'splode from me trying to upload such a large pic.
