Good for the NRA — the Columbus City Council voted to ban ‘assault’ rifles (you know the ones — they look bad, like the one I used for the e-Postal Match) so the NRA has canceled its plans to hold the 2007 convention there. Read the Press Release Here

Lots of ‘gunnies’ like to bash the NRA for this or that, but I have to give them credit for sticking up for all of us. I’m a Life Member so maybe that makes me biased, but I look at the same way I see politics these days. Idealism doesn’t get you anywhere if you don’t have support, so hook up with whomever has the best chance of getting at least some of your adjenda enacted. I used to be a libertarian, I now consider myself a Republitarian (libertarian working inside the Republican party), my vote has had more positive effect when directed to the Republican candidates who have won than it ever had in my ‘protest/idealistic vote’ for Libertarians.
