Charles Cotton is up for reelection. He's a lawyer from Texas. He
helped write Texas' concealed handgun law, and several other pro-2A pieces of legislation in Texas. He's also a member of the gun club I belonged to when I lived in Houston, where he lobbied the club's board to allow carbines and tactical style rifles to be used in some of the handgun shooting bays. Prior to that, the closest range you could shoot your AR at was 50 yards. Quoted: (IMO) #9, Charles Cotton is a status quo jackass. Other opinions on him? |

Kenneth Blackwell:
Support from pro-gun organizationsKen Blackwell has earned an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Political Victory Fund. Blackwell is also endorsed by the Ohio Gun Collectors Association, Ohioans for Concealed Carry and Gun Owners of America. "I unequivocally support the Second Amendment right of every law-abiding Ohioan to keep and own firearms for hunting, personal protection and any other lawful purpose," said Blackwell. "I am proud to receive the NRA’s highest rating and will be an unflinching advocate for gun owners as governor." |

(IMO) #9, Charles Cotton is a status quo jackass. Other opinions on him? I attended a Firearms CLE on Texas law where Charles Cotton spoke and talked with him briefly. He would get my vote just on his past accomplishments to get us where we are. He has some valid concerns that we may be creating future problems for RKBA with our success in rolling back firearms law; but he is a solid plus for RKBA - if for no other reason than he is out there every day working to promote it. In other news, Patricia A. Clark was not a choice of the NRA Nominating Committee but was backed by the Knox clan and some other outsider groups. She successfully won and appears to be nominating committee approved now. Beyond that, don't know much about her. R. Lee Ermey was another non-committee choice. |

Innis is a 60s era civil rights guy. He has been on the board forever. Dan Boren is a former Dem Senator from Oklahoma. He is probably more conservative than John Cornyn; but I don't know how many ties he has to the Dem party and whether that is a plus or not. Peter J. Printz was the Sheriff who sued to successfully overturn portions of the Brady law. He helped kill the waiting period and is the plaintiff in the Supreme Court case "Printz v. United States" Here is an anti-gun website (link cold) called "Meet the NRA" that has little hate filled bios of the NRA Board - it may give you an idea who they hate most or who they see as vulnerable. http://www.meetthenra.org/board-list |

submitted for the Naughty list:
NO to Carl Rowan, Jr. His father is a famous DC anti, as well as a hypocrite. His father shot at a teenager who had snuck into their swimming pool using a gun given to him illegally by the current NRA Board member. The father worked diligently over the years to oppress DC gun rights. I don't trust the son, he comes off as someone who thinks it's only ok for the "right" people to own the "right" kind of guns. |

The only thing I know about Carl Rowan, Jr. is that his father used to write anti-gun screeds (gun ban) in the paper even after Sr. shot that kid. Jr. has been on the NRA Board since then (over 20 years). The other thread on Roy Innis has some more info on him. Charles Cotton on the other hand is a good guy. I'll be voting for him. |

I'm not sure that is a bad thing given the people they have not supported in the past (R. Lee Ermey and Patricia Clark being two examples who are now Nominating Committee approved). Still with the Brandon Webb types out there, I do get concerned about peole who don't have the support of the Nominating Committee. |

She Is a competitive shooter and one of five recommendations (along with Charles Cotton) made by Dave Hardy for this election (http://armsandthelaw.com/). If you Google her, you can see several anti-gun publications tried to personally target and shame Clark after Newtown because she literally lives just down the street from Sandy Hook (which they also published). |

It's those 6 (if there are that many) that we should be worried about and make sure we consolidate our efforts at not getting them reelected. |
