My friends in Santa Barbara got another
reply from NRA in response to why the Association endorsed
Bill Brown for sheriff:
Thank you for your response. When a candidate does not return a questionnaire, we do assume that it is because they are hostile to gun rights. There is always a possibility the candidate did not receive the questionnaire or forgot to return it. But in Sheriff Anderson's case, according to individuals who talked to him and know him, he was aware that he had not returned the questionnaire and he still never did return it.
Sincerely,
Erik Eckberg
NRA-ILA
Here's what I sent back:
I believe the correct question is not why Anderson was unrated. That’s a diversion from the real issue in this race. I would like someone from NRA HQ to go on record about what Bill Brown did, said and promised to receive an A rating. This nebulous “Bill Brown has worked with the NRA to defeat anti-gun legislation at the State Capitol” does not tell me why Brown deserves an A, AND AN ENDORSEMENT, which in anybody’s book ought to mean he’s a gun rights leader.
What bills did he help defeat? Specifically.
What work did he do for NRA to help defeat these bills? Give details.
What is Brown’s position on the Second Amendment and why won’t he state it for the record?
What is Brown’s position on “assault weapons”?
What is Brown’s position on concealed carry?
What is Brown’s position on .50 caliber rifles?
How does Brown define the militia?
Why did Brown endorse Gov. Moonbeam, who made gun control ads a centerpiece of his campaign?
What does Brown think “shall not be infringed” means?
People are catching on to NRA HQ duplicity. As a life member, I am sick of arrogant staffers equivocating, weasel-wording, avoiding giving direct answers to direct questions. I am sick of phony ratings. I am sick of slick talking.
How about a “for the record” reply to each of my specific concerns, Mr. Eckberg?
And when we’re done with Brown, we can move on to Shane Sklar and Judy Topinka.
I will, of course, post any response I get, unedited.

Charge man, charge! I love that you are holding their feet to the fire.
If the NRA position is to have a voice in the democratic party, in spite of the anti gun positions taken, then the NRA must say so.
Weasel words have no place in any group ostensibly committed to the RTKBA.
Great posts on this important topic.
Thanks!
The NRA is to American gun owners, as what Dr. Joseph Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry was to the German population. In other words; TRAITORS to the people.
Something tells me we are going to see a similar termination of events. As that of what the German people faced in 1944-45. Which, of course, was almost a complete and total annihilation. The whole infrastructure of Germany was completely destroyed, (Again).
Those whom don't learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it.....
BTW, NRA, Herr Goebbels cowardly committed suicide, and took his wife and six children with him.....
