I'm surprised by the utter lack of counter-voices to Micheal Moore's challenge to "his" NRA. Perhaps some would be loathe to quote from another Michigan native whom speaks proudly loud and long as a self-proclaimed right wing advocate for gun ownership and hunting; ex-Detroit hard core faded rockstar ; Ted Nugent. Hell, where's the quotes from this son-of-Michigan to counter Micheal Moore's. The silence is deafening. Then again there was Mark of michigan, that comicstrip militia leader that has since slunk off into obscurity after the milita movement got its deserved black eye from the "Turner Diaries" militia poster child ; one Timothy MacVey. ...and don't get me started on child-molester David Koresh oif Waco fame whom drew first blood on the BATF officer given the green light by the Reagan-appointed head of BATF, Higgins ,whom was still in power during the hearings on Waco where he testified giving the green light to proceed to secure the compound before the 1st Bush admin was even out of office. The same Higgins on whose desk the buck stopped for the Ruby Ridge debacle "during" the 1st Bush admin. I stress this fatc because Rign wing rabble-rousers laways tend to finesse these facts when blaming Clinton for Waco. Glad i sat through the actaul televised hearings "before some damn fools try to say it never happened that way" ( with apologies to Eisenhaurer's quote to document the death camps of Germany upon their liberation. another inconvinient fact that white supremecist militas can't handle. ..and just as it is the truly peaceful adherents of Islam to own up to acknowledging and disciplining those that do violentce in their name, so ,too ,do the more genuine constitutionally honest right-wingers have to own-up and discipline those that do violence in their name starting with those among the membership of the NRA.. There. If that don't stir debate their ain't no pulse on the right.
