This weekend I met up with some of my GFW friends for the VT-Syracuse game. It was a lot of fun, and eventually over beers and hot dogs, we got to talking about the NRA. My friends Mike and Anna actually live near NRA Headquarters, which Mike calls "the Death Star".

During our brief conversation, I confessed to them that I was considering quitting the NRA. Naturally, they asked why. You can only imagine their shock and horror when I told them that I thought the NRA was too liberal when it comes to gun control. I don't think that any of them had ever heard the NRA characterized as liberal before.

The truth is that the NRA has signed off on just about every major gun restriction passed in this country. They are a centrist organization that is bent on compromise. Maybe they view strict Constitutionalists like me as counter-productive, but I don't believe in compromising when it comes to individual freedom.
