 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.
