Here is the NRA list of speakers for the nutty NRA meeting next month in St Louis.....

Last edited Sun Mar 18, 2012, 07:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Ted Nugent
Rick Perry
John Bolton
Roy Blunt
Oliver North
Romney, Newt and Santorum
Eric Cantor
Scott Walker
Bobby Jindal
and the token black guy - Ken Blackwell, right wing nut and current Vice Chairman of the RNC!

I must of missed the list of Dems they invited to speak.

On Edit......
This is, once again, why the Dems need to STOP the anti-Gun talk! The NRA only has power as long as the Dems are the enemy. 73% of people polled by Gallup in 2011 said there SHOULD NOT be a ban on personal possession of handguns.

But, I bet the crowd will just lick it up. Hope they don't get all "inspired" and run out and shoot someone to take their country back.

The certainly deserve each other.

Watch how fast they suck up to the NRA. They'll have holes in their kneepads by the end of the day.

That would certainly get their attention. The attention of the NRA as well as anti-RKBA politicians.

The NRA gets way too much press and currently rides on it's reputation. A bit of a bully pulpit.

The Internet allows the whole broad spectrum of RKBA people to air their views. It allows myths and rumors to be picked apart. It puts the media in it's place.

I have come to the conclusion that there are rabid crazy gun nuts and rabid crazy anti gun nuts. Both sets are fun to watch.
