Full Disclosure

TriggerFinger raises concerns about a Bitch Girls post concerning Of Arms & the Law, specifically that a $10,000 funding grant by NRA was not disclosed.

It was. To millions, via NRA's June membership magazines.


From AMERICAN RIFLEMAN, June 2005, pg. 77

David Hardy does not warrant being scrutinized unless it is to confirm the wonderful work he has done and honor him for it. As a member of the Silveira support team from the outset, I know that Roy Lucas held him in the highest regard--and Roy was a guy who would let you know if he had issues with you.

Lest these comments be misunderstood, Matthew, no criticism of you or your decision to post on this is implied. I appreciate your blog and consult it every day.

It's important to disclose to the readers, not just to the NRA members who receive one of the NRA's magazines. I certainly have had no quibbles with the excellent work being done on that blog.

I wish somebody'd pay ME $10k to blog, but then I'd have to stop excerpting in whole from copyrighted materials.

There is, though, something to be said for including a "sponsored by the NRA" disclaimer on the site. I'd heard that the blog was NRA supported, but this is the first I've seen proof of it, and I subscribe to American Rifleman.
