Well anyone would be better for us than Joaquin Jackson. It is good to see people who actually support the 2nd running for Board seats as opposed to those who sit on the Board and just pay lip service to it.

Good luck and thank you. I can't afford to pony up the lifetime membership, but I joined the the NRA this year and will continue to pay yearly dues until I can vote just so that I vote for someone like you. I'm glad to see an arfcom member put his hat in the ring. Is the other arfcom endorsee a member, too? |

I may have to Join the NRA now. I have been sending my money to other organizations because the NRA has compromised so much, to gain very little. I am encouraged to see some Black Rifle advocates taking some leadership. Count me in, but I will be watching.

What's the deal on voting for the directors? I've been a member for years, but I've never received a ballot. Do you go online or something?

They'll have my vote. Now what about all the others who we need to vote for? Who does ARFcom/Site owners support?

Quoted: They'll have my vote. Now what about all the others who we need to vote for? Who does ARFcom/Site owners support? From what I understand because of the way votes are counted your vote has more weight if you do not vote for 25 candidates; this is called "bullet voting" and I think you're best off if you vote for no more than 5. Other than Joe and George, I'm looking at: - Lt. Col. Robert K. Brown - editor of Soldier of Fortune Magazine - Stephen C. Schreiner of Colorado This would be a great opportunity to discuss the options and put together a top 5 list, so if you have anything to add, let's hear it. |

As a member of the NRA Board and a friend of both Joe and George I can assure you they will both be an asset to the NRA in the fight for the 2nd Amendment.

I joined the NRA back in 1993/1994 however couldnt afford to renew my membership since I got riffed out of the USMC. I recently went to the NRA website and asked for help in identifying my membership number so that I can renew. that was about two weeks ago, I still have not had a reply.

Hey Guys,
There is a full steal your weapons gun ban in the stimulus bill. If it passes, they will have declared all highways public parks. Therefore demanding full confiscation of firearms.

To qoute Hebrew_Battle_Rifle:
"Having the NRA represent gun owners before Congress is like having your mother in law represent you in a divorce hearing." Why bother. These clowns are as much weasels as the politicians. The Second Ammendment is not about hunting. Hunting was a way of life when it was written. Meat didn't come nicely packed in Styrofoam. The Second Ammendmentment is about the defense of the Constitution and the rest of the Bill of Rights. The NRA will never protect your rights. Watch and see. They pander to the party in power. I bet they will support Obama's reinstatement of the Clinton era "Assualt Weapons Ban" if the Dems are still in power after the 2010 elections. Don't waste your time and money. The NRA blows!!!!

FWIW, There is a person whom I think deserves serious consideration as an NRA board memeber. His name I Owen 'Buz' Miles. He is currently the owner of Gunsite Training Accademy. I have met him in the past as a student of gunsite. I have always been very impressed with his attitude, commitment and dedication to gun ownership, and shooting in general.sp Perhaps some Arizona folks can chime in for more input. edit for sp |

"While some may feel that the NRA has not been a strong advocate of "black rifles", we hope to dispel that myth, and give you a chance to change that misconception. This year we are endorsing a couple of really strong black-rifle advocates in their run for the NRA Board of Directors: Joseph P. DeBergalis, Jr. and George K. Kollitides."
I remember when the NRA didn't support those who legally owned full auto or former military service weapons not to mention military type fire arms. Just like Zumbo. While I dropped my support of the NRA a couple of years ago over issues shuch as those above I'll wait and see how they(NRA) stands on the issue. And in regard to the Zumbo affair they did note how the members of AR15.com went after him but they didn't show a lot of support in how they reported it. We'll see. |

50-140.... His correct name is Owen "Buz" Mills....He is fine choice and a staunch advocate of the Second Amendment. The "Ravens" are a fine group of people!!! Joe Thanks for taking on this challenge and I hope we get you seated! I'll add Mr. Mills to the list of ones we can trust...

I have been a NRA annual member for thirty years, and just took advantage of the family sponsorship for a life membership thanks to my nephew who joined as a life member of NRA this year. I just sent my NRA Ballot in today, with your suggestion of Joseph Debergalis and George Kollitides. These are the only ones I voted for this time around.
I am very proud, and happy to now be a life member of the NRA, regardless of what the naysayers have to say. Hmm, let me see 70 rounds (or less) of .223, or a yearly membership to an organization that has clout in the national arena. |

I am a continuing contributing member and I am glad you are finally fighting for black rifles. The other concern is the ammunition. They are coming after it instead of the guns. What are you planning on doing about that?

I was scolded today for not being an NRA member by my gun dealer. So I chose the lifetime easy pay plan this evening. Thanks for standing up for our rights. You have my support.

 I just found out about this from Joe posting in the VA HTF... congrats Joe! Last I remember, two arfcommers, Old_Painless & BamaShooter IIRC, were going to run. Much drama ensued, they said "no, nevermind," and the effort fizzled out. Glad to see something positive came of the situation! I've been an NRA life member for about 25 yrs (Endowment Life now)... glad I'll have someone to vote for now, instead of just guessing at how the candidates might differ. |
