With Friends Like These

 NRA Members for Chipman? [More]

The endnote says "David Ziegler is a former NRA member and retired ATF agent," but he said early on he was a "Life Member" and if he resigned I must have glossed over it.

So why not expel the old Quisling?

Association Bylaws, Article III, Sec. 11, "Involuntary Termination of Membership and Disciplinary Proceedings" states in part:

"Any individual or organization member may be suspended or expelled for good cause, including, but not limited to, any conduct which is contrary to, or in violation of the Bylaws of the Association."

Ziegler's Chipman advocacy is in direct conflict with Article II, Purposes and Objectives, section 1:

"To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, especially with reference to the inalienable right of the individual American citizen guaranteed by such Constitution to acquire, possess, collect, exhibit, transport, carry, transfer ownership of, and enjoy the right to use arms, in order that the people may always be in a position to exercise their legitimate individual rights of self-preservation and defense of family, person, and property, as well as to serve effectively in the appropriate militia for the common defense of the Republic and the individual liberty of its citizens;"

Additionally, Article III, "Membership," section 1., "Eligibility," requires that the member "subscribes to the objectives and purposes of the Association." 

Yeah, I know -- if they wouldn't expel Michael Moore when things were flush, why expect anyone at Fairfax to focus on anything now other than circling the wagons around Wayne?
