NRA Lifer, BTTT.
I should join, but I haven’t bought a gun yet and I would feel real dumb joining the NRA without one.
‘JJ: Well, I’m a person that believes in a weapon should never…I personally believe a weapon should never have over a – far as civilian – 5 round capacity. If a hunter, if you’re a hunter if you’re gonna go hunting with a weapon, you shouldn’t need over but one round… ‘
Great example of why I feel the NRA left me years ago.
Gold club = assault weapon
How’d this jack ass get appointed director in the first place? He sounds exactly like he’s from the Brady crowd.
Irresponsible and unacceptable comment; he should not be on the board. In fact, he should not even be a member of the NRA, and should be immediately and unceremoniously booted.

I dropped my NRA membership several years ago - to many compromises - and multiple WEEKLY solicitations via mail and phone for donations...
I rather support an organization that is no-compromise, of which there are a few.
Tried to access the petition, but got an error message; is there something wrong with the link, or is it just me?
Here is the (2 min) VIDEO of him making the statement above:

These Fudds will be the death of us all.
Further proof that any organization that is not explicitly conservative will become liberal over time. Washington-based organizations are particularly susceptible to the lure of “going native”. Life is so much nicer for lobbyists who go along to get along - you get invited to parties with hot-looking wealthy women and are introduced to much more important people than those who stick to their guns, so to speak.
Do any of you KNOW who Juaquin Jackson is?
He’s probably one of the greatest Texas Rangers to have served in the past half century.
Read his book and get a little insight.
The book’s called “One Ranger”.
Trust me, it’s worth the read.

No relation to Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson, of Monty Python fame.
There was a man who had lots of firearms but refused to become a member of the NRA. Too many solicitations, a modifyed 1968 gun control law(which prevented real registration) and other silly reasons was his excuse for not joining.
When he died his will requested that NRA members be the pallbearers. They carried him this far, they might as well carry him the rest of the way.

I did not hear the interview yet. I disagree with everything he said, however your post led me to believe that he just conducted the interview. According to his reply the interview took place several years ago.
I am a NRA member and have been for years. Some here complain about all of the solicitations. I get them too, all of the time. None have yet come that force me to contribute. I give as often as I can. The NRA is first and foremost a political lobbying organization that works to defend our 2nd amendment rights. The mothers milk of politics is money. Do you think the DC court case was done without cost?
We live in perilous times, the gun banners are running wild in anticipation of returning to power. Make no mistake they will try at every level to restrict our rights and eventually take our guns.
I want to say again I disagree with everything that was reportedly said in the interview, but if as they say it was years ago why are you raising it at this time? We can ill afford to fight one another.
I give to the NRA, I give to the RNC, RNCC, RNSC. We must not be divided or the forces of liberal insanity will prevail.
The NRA is the most effective lobby in the USA, it has been a determining factor in the last several elections. AS long as MR Jackson has clarified his remarks and further is not currently as a leader of the organization advocating the views expressed in the past interview I do not believe it is a useful effort to attack him. We can ill afford the waste of energy fighting one another when our adversaries are so intent upon our destruction. Give of your time, money and energy in support of our common interest.
Ted Nugent for PONRA?
