I read this article months ago; about the NRA and firearms.
http://ift.tt/1l2TjZW It was written for Salon by Alexander Zaitchik
I wrote a lengthy letter to the author detailing the errors he made in it. To my surprise he replied. It seems that I was one of those that responded in a rational manner and he wanted to discuss the NRA and gun politics with me. I gave him my number and got a call from him yesterday. He wanted to know more about what I felt about the national pro-gun organizations. I think I disappointed him a bit when I revealed that I was mostly a “grass roots politics” type of person and did not do much at the national level.
We talked for about the NRA, other 2nd Amendment groups and NFA law for about 10-15 minutes; he said he was writing an article for Rolling Stone and might quote me. I balked at this a bit as the last time I was quoted in a newspaper I ended up thinking; "Did I actually say that?" He said he would let me know what he was quoting me on before he sent the story in. I told him he could quote me about my feelings towards the NRA and I gave him an earful about them avoiding certain niche gun control legislation.
After we were done talking I e-mailed him to ask if he was going to write another article for Salon to correct the deficiencies from the first; I've yet to receive a reply on that.
