In regards the above statement about the NRA being composed of criminals, fools, and hunters: Well one out of three isn't too bad,for a warped liberal, that is. I take particular offense to your remark. I have a lot of friends who are NRA members & although they are hunters, they are not criminals or fools. I, myself am not a member, but I do think it is a good organization. I am now considering joining. seismo!cmcl2!nybcb!daly
