Ha, ha. I've always thought people would lose interest in the second amendment if somebody started a group with a name like the "Hispanic National Rifle Association."

Man, that made me think of a joke, but I already have enough to explain...You DID give me an idea for when I hit Lotto, though.

The Muslim National Rifle Association would probably be arrested as a terrorist sleeper cell. Let's just say that a Muslim showing an interest in weapons right now is a Very Bad Idea.Anybody have actual stats on how white the NRA is?

I don't know how white they are. I don't like the views Charlton Heston, their version of Ronald Reagan, put forward on (let us say) non-gun issues…I've noticed a pattern in the race attitude-by-gun attitude grid, so it wasn't unexpected once I knew his gun views.But as an organization, I've never heard of the NRA having a problem with ANYONE who will pay dues and vote their way. If there's not a lot of minority NRA members it's largely because minorities don't join (how's that for a tautology?).

Charlton Heston as President of the Screen Actors Guild worked with Dr. Martin Luther King to open Hollywood's technical unions.I don't know what vote their way means. There are Republicans and Democrats on the NRA board. Roy Innis has been a board member for many years.The NRA's web site has a Spanish language version.The NRA's new President, Kayne Robinson, is a career police officer.

By "vote their way" I mean against anyone whowould infringe on the absolute unimpeded right to own firearms.You do not do the NRA any favor in my eyes by associating them with Roy Innis.
