Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) said yesterday. "The unholy alliance and control of the legislative process against the safety of our citizens is immoral, and it's a disgrace."

I wonder if every citizen's lobby that oppresses his viewpoints are an "Unholy alliance"... ...I wonder if his lobbies seek to sway the "legislative process" by sharing information, etc too? ...Oh right... ...If he has a lobby, that's what lobbies do.
I wonder, what do you folks feel about this bill that would protect the gun manufacturers?
And if you're up for it.... ....What do you think of the NRA?
(Personally, I think I should sign up for membership since I'm not a member yet, LOL.)
Edit: It looks like a person could be a lifetime member for $750. ...I wish they still had lifetime fishing licenses...
