Quote: At the one NRA meeting I ever attended, we had Joel Rosenberg as a guest speaker. He's a southland businessman who was elected to the NRA's board of directors.
He kept reminding us that California is just one state out of 50.
Like a fool, I totally failed to offer the following rebuttal.
Yes, California is one state out of 50, but in terms of the American population, it's one out of 8, maybe one out of 10. Also, these 10% of Americans are in a crisis zone. We can't possibly need just as much attention as Vermont and Montana. They're totally gun friendly. California is a gun owner's nightmare, and the NRA should know that, as was the case with AWBs, our bad gun control ideas flow outward. Bullet serialization hasn't passed here, but that won't stop it. Already Boston's mayor is talking about it too.
As for the AR thing... well, I'll just step over it and get an M1A. From this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=182415

At the library the other day, I noticed that there's another joelr that's a writer. *His* books didn't look nearly as interesting at *our* Joel's.

Oddly enough, I too was looking up Joel R. at the library yesterday. I noticed they don't carry Joel's gun book, only his fiction. I was thinking that after we get the library straightened away on their illegal signage we should ask them to buy a few copies of the book.

On my list of things to do is to send the director of the library a freebie, as soon as the matter with Reaver is settled, one way or the other.

Providing a free book would be generous of Joel. But I don't think he should have to do that. The library is ours, funded by our taxes, and I believe they take (if not requests then at least) input from patrons on the kinds of books they should carry.
I'd say 30,000+ permit holders is easilly a big enough group to justify them coughing up the dough to buy at least a dozen copies. I personally would feel better about my permit owning brethren if they had all read Joel's book, regardless of (or sometimes, especially because of...) who they took their training from.
