NRA Chalks Up Victories
National Rifle Association,
membership 4.1 million, has a lot to celebrate at its 132nd annual
meeting, scheduled for April 24-27 in Orlando, Fla.
Check out this list of victories compiled by UPI:
 | New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Clinton Democrat, recently
signed a "concealed carry" law. |
| Colorado Gov. Bill Owens, a Republican, made "shall
issue right-to-carry" the law in the Centennial State. |
| Only seven states don't permit residents to carry firearms
for self-protection or the protection of loved ones. |
| The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill to stop
cities' nuisance lawsuits against gun manufacturers and dealers.

"On a sadder note, Academy-Award-winning actor Charlton Heston
will be stepping down after an unprecedented six years as president of the
organization," UPI notes. "His replacement is expected to be
first vice president Kayne Robinson, the former police chief of Des
Moines, Iowa, a longtime NRA board member."
Things for supporters of the Second Amendment to watch for:
Leftist
Democrats' bizarre new scheme to classify handguns as "weapons of
mass destruction," a major story ignored by most of Big Media.
More lawsuit lunacy. This week New York's attorney
general sued Wal-Mart for
selling toy guns. Perhaps the manufacturers and sellers of those miniature
plastic fast-food restaurants will be next.
