Mike, I agree with your thoughts. It is a problem, but maybe expected, that these big "national" organizations become "home" for employees. Not necessarily employees that have an interest or knowledge in the organization, but just people who have "jobs" to pay for their kids and who go home after work and mow the grass. They do not have the love and interest in the guns lots of us have------------understandably so. I suppose the various societies that are named for preventing various diseases are, and have to be, stocked with people that are not really part of the disease stopping, but just earning a living. I would like to think that that NRA was different, but really not so. Too bad. We are lucky the internet and this BBS came along. What do you want to know ? I may not know it, but chances are someone reading this site may know something about the subject or someone who does know.
