"The roots of gun control are racist" You might not know how right you are.
It's well known that in Chicago handguns are prohibited1. But 'Da Mare' (the mayor) Richie Daley passed a law (by Regal fiat) that all residents of Public Housing are prohibited from owning and/or possessing any type of firearm - no shotguns, no rifles.
Now this 'law' really only affects (targets) Blacks as they are approx 99.998% of Chi's Public Housing complexes occupants and they are the people that need a means of self-defense the most. Home invasions in the 'projects' are common and these people are now at the mercy of the thugs, gang-bangers and drug dealers thanks to the mayor.
So like you say, Gun Control is racist.
[But the blacks keep voting Dem and refuse to get off the plantation. (metaphorically speaking)]
1- Technically they're not. Some handguns could've been grandfathered in a long time ago, but in reality they are effectively banned.

I was thinking that Tom Selleck would have made a good choice to follow Heston.
He's wealthy, finances and produces his own movies (Westerns now IIRC) and everyone in Holly-weird knows he's a "Right-Wing Gun Nut" anyway so his career wouldn't be harmed.
Plus he has a big imposing figure, is good looking (not in a girlie man way) and could swing a lot of "soccer moms" to our side.
Just a thought....

What about Ted Nugent? He would make a exciting head of the NRA.
To: Condor51
Selleck would make a poor choice for President. He was completely blindsided by Rosie O'Donut. He started sputtering that he wasn't a spokesman for the NRA. Unfortunately, he could have realized how much he was being attacked and calmed down. He didn't so don't confuse Selleck with Quigley Down Under.
Any President of the NRA has to be a member of the Board of Directors. Selleck had never held that position.

Marion Hammer was president at the same time Tanya M was Executive director.

Doesn't matter if she were black but it might help. I usually am strictly against selecting folks because of their gender/racial profile, but I think having a woman, (as long as she is not the shrill type) makes the civil rights movement more accessible to those that might be influenced by left-wing hate groups.
The black community has historically been the target of gun control laws and today is the group most affected by being held defensless.
An emphasis on "civil rights" whether targeted to blacks or all Americans is politically better promoted.

Definately in need of a makeover for marketing reasons.

"Tell that to Suzanne Gratia Hupp."Dang, you beat me to it; I was going to post that EXACTLY, but thought I'd check first.
BTW, it's "Suzanna" with an 'a.'

Ted Nugent? Clearly you are being facetious.

It's the end of the world. Let's hope so.
First the church. Now, the NRA?!?!! And to think I was considering extending my membership. Not anymore. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

By the way, the story is wrong. Kayne Robinson succeeded Charlton Heston. You might recall he's from Iowa. I wonder why he's one-and-gone. Guess I'll have to check the NRA Web site.

I believe Marion P. Hammer the woman that is very active in Florida was President of the NRA just before Charlton Heston.

What do either of you mean?
And you newgeezer...are you honestly suggesting that you won't re-join the NRA because they appointed a woman to this spot?

We wouldn't even need an NRA if we didn't have women ruling over men be it in politics, the workplace or our churches. Sure males are ultimately to blame for giving up their God given position, but the irony here just kills me.
