rejoined the NRA

Well, this seems like a really good time to rejoin the NRA. I had let my membership lapse years ago, but with the new Obama administration having at least 2 years of strong legislative support ahead, it was time to rejoin.

Obama lied routinely during the campaign about his stance on the Second Amendment. You can read a summary of his actual voting record and see that he is actually a much bigger threat than he claimed to be. Hopefully he will overreach and trigger a large backlash but we can't count on that.


The NRA has a promotion running now to join for $25/year ($10 off). You can find it here.
