As stated above, the NRA was slow to say anything at all. The Brady's are quick to offer up cherry picked quotes from Zumbo and others, but there is not a word about his second (sincere) apology. After cruising the Brady Blog and reading the comments posted by their supporters, I've come to the realization that there's no reasoning with these idiots. They feel that the world works a certain way and therefore it must be so. No amount of logic, reason or facts will dissuade them. The only ones that can be reached are those on the fence about the issue. -Yuri The Real Gun Guys, counteracting the counterfeit.

Thousands of posts per day were posted on Jim’s blog before that blog was pulled offline. Then Jim resigned his position. All of that went down before the NRA issued their first press release....</blockquote> That's probably not what needs to be said to win people over to our side.
