Jack, both as a member of PF and RGS and as a member of the outdoor press, I get emails and press releases from those two organizations going into fairly specific detail--including the text of testimony before various Congressional committees--concerning their efforts on the Hill. My status is no different with IWLA--member, and working member of the outdoor press. Maybe they're just not very efficient at getting the word out on what they do in DC--other than through their magazine, Outdoor America. And although the most recent edition of that magazine focused on a number of environmental issues, it contained nothing relative to RKBA issues.

So . . . when other organizations (with smaller memberships than IWLA) are quite effective in advising both their members and the outdoor press about their lobbying activities, it seems to me quite an assumption on your part that the IWLA is engaging in RKBA lobbying efforts in DC--and not reporting on those activities, either to their members or to the outdoor press. And you know what happens when you ASS-U-ME.

If I were counting on an organization to stand up for my RKBA rights, I'd want something a little better than an assumption to go on. But if it's good enough for you . . .
