Matt,
I renewed my membership to the NRA recently -- mainly to get the magazine -- and received a "Member Survey" on September 25, 2001.
The first multiple-choice question was:
"What is your primary reason for owning a firearm?
o- hunting
o- collecting
o- personal/family protection
o- do not own any firearms
o- target
o- other _________________"
Now, I ask all NRA members this question:
"What option -- what huge reason for having a firearm -- is not even presented on the questionnaire?"
How about:
o- Armed citizen
or
o- Defense against tyranny
NRA members need to ask themselves -- and NRA management:
why doesn't the NRA even present either of these options to its membership, when these were *the reasons* underlying the Second Amendment??
