This interview is from 2005 - it may have just been missed by us.
NRA Board Memeber & Texas Ranger on TV calls for limiting to 5 rounds! Video here: (check out the last one) www.klru.org/texasmonthlytalks/archives/jackson/jackson.asp
First he thinks ALL civilians should be limited to 5 rounds per weapon.... no matter what the weapon is. Second - he really doesn't think any civilian should be able to own assault weapons... and if they are allowed, they should also be capped to 5 rounds. This guy is NO fan of the 2nd Amendment... and SURELY does not understand or believe in it. www.nrawinningteam.com/bios01/jackson.html The enemy is within. It has been confirmed that Joaquin Jackson is indeed still on the Board of Directors of the NRA. The board members are voted in. Need a letter writing campaign to the NRA about this. We need to ensure he is removed from the board if possible.... and at the very least contact the Secretary's office and let them know (POLITELY) about our disdain for his leadership position, when he surely does not represent us, or the 2nd amendment to the Constitution. Read on for details:
Please refrain from making inflammatory or "FUDD" comments about him, or the NRA. It wont help the cause, or the situation at hand. |

I guess then he needs a 5 round mag for that 1911 he has hanging on his hip
and the lever gun should be plugged to 5 rounds as well Hypocrite |
|
He should definitely do the above to show he is a true believer. He should be fired on the spot! Where is the outrage? ETA: I didn't know civilians could buy new assault weapons? What about the '86 ban? This guy need some education. |
|
|
WTF?! Let's make sure this gets a bump on Monday. Action must be taken!
To send an online message to the NRA click here Snail Mail: National Rifle Association of America 11250 Waples Mill Road Fairfax, VA 22030 I don't know what the right phone number for something like this would be but this is the member programs number: 1-800-672-3888 Edited to make more noticeable. |
|
Write your letters boys - let the NRA know how you feel.
Post this info on the other gun boards you are a member of. If people dont know - they cant act. |

FALARAK,
Thanks for updating the Links to show the actual TV clip with his direct statements. What The HELL??? This is an N.R.A. Board Member saying this???? He does have the right to express his personal opinions (1st amendment) but this is the guy who is supposed to be defending me and my gun rights against the Gun Grabbers? When our weak congress debates the important issue of gun control, I'm sure the Brady Bunch will try to get this clip played before Senator "Bends With The Wind" to show that Law Enforcement and NRA support limiting civilians to only 5 rounds. I'm on the job to get a clear explanation from N.R.A. and I think everyone who is an NRA member should do the same! BIGGER_HAMMER |
|
I'll be calling Monday morning, I hope the Shit Hits The Fan with this guy.
|
|
Perhaps you like being part of an organization who's board members tout that crap. Would you have the same feelings if a staff member of AR15.com said the same thing or a politician that you thought was in favor of your rights said it also? This person needs replaced. |
|
|
I'm not a member because they are infiltrated with fudds |
||
|
I don't hate the NRA, I just don't trust the fuckers to do the right thing. |
|
|
His philosophy is:
So any misunderstandings and tongue tiedness is not a possiblility. |
|
|
The Fudds playing along to fuck us over. |
||
|
Then you are part of the problem. Make a difference, join the NRA and then effect change from within. |
|
|
BOard members are elected. And unelected. We have a thing called a BALLOT for membership on the BoD. Vote
And send him this link. And a nice letter telling him he is WRONG. |
|
He needs to be thrown out and black balled from all shooting anything.

|
Yeah, join the NRA....support an asshole like this. Good idea. |
||
|
hell no. I don't want them calling me every week begging for money |
||
|
I'm a Life member, but what percentage of NRA members actually get to vote? I've always heard it was pretty low. |
|
|
Video says it aired June 16, 2005. Is he still a board member? Has he retracted his statement? Zumbo him!!!
|
|
Get on it arfcom. NOW!
This really isnt the time to keep the arfcom tradition of "sit around and bitch", or, "if I was ther I'd show him a thing or two". My email is out, where's yours? Thank Bigger_Hammer and FALARAK for letting us know about the atrocious comments and posting them for the site to see. |
|
I believe he was on the last ballot, earlier this year. |
|
|
Lighten up. I feel your anger - but I dont know about all that. What I DO know is that he does NOT agree with the 2nd amendment in the intent it was written by the "forefathers" that he mentioned.... and therefore should NOT be a board of directors member of the NRA. At least, not if they want to continue receiving my membership and money. |
|
|
I think I will write an email to the NRA, but I going to have to calm down first.
|
|
Already sent a letter calling for his immediate dismissal or resignation.
|
|
Fuck that. Do you honestly think this asshole holds a minority opinion among Fudds? Virtually every time I've gone to pick up a new EBR some dumbfuck hunter gives me a cross look or a snear. |
||
|
Yes, he was. |
||
|
You get the magazine (clip ). One issue HAS THE BALLOT in it! |
||
|
You know you can simply tell them not to do that and they won't, right? |
|||
|
The web page link shows him elected to the NRA board in 2001 for a 3 year term. Is this interview from 2005? His words disgust me, but if this is old news we should know that, too.
|
|
Every time we give them a inch they will take a mile. We will lose because only one thing counts united we stand divided we fall. Those who stand against gunrights need to be removed from gun culture and black balled from life. |
||
|
I'm a member and will be calling or writing or both.
Can somebody narrow down which clip to watch? Can it be saved for future publishing (or for rubbing his nose n it) |
|
Ha! I get to vote, it's just I always wonder when I hear people talking about changing the organization from within, since I've always been under the impression that most people do not get a vote. |
|||
|
Wow.
He was on the cover of SoF a few months ago. Gonna have to go back and read that article, I guess. Time to put a letter in the "Mail Bag," methinks. |
|
Yep - it appears this interview is from 2005. I am trying to find a current list of the board of directors. Anyone have that? |
|
|
I would like to see any future weapon bans apply to law enforcement agencies as well, then we'll see how many people like him still support further infringements upon the RKBA.
I fully support law enforcement, but individuals like Jackson are not our friends. |
|
It's very easy to avoid that ya know. |
|||
|
Sheesh people, he is an elected board member.
Don't vote for him next time. Of course, voting for someone else is hard to do if you're busy boycotting the NRA, Those of you demanding he be removed - have you even read the NRA bylaws, to see how this is done? Take action - it is OUR organization, WE vote the board members in. I'll never understand some of the logic here. |
