Well, the NRA has an Email notification system on all political issues, and I receive several of these notifications every week or so. Prior to any primary, I always recieve all kinds of information about the candidates various positions on what the Second Amendment really means, etc. All this information is free for the asking. If you go to this web site address, you can see what the NRA is doing right now: http://www.nra.com/

This is an extremely interesting service and only one of several the NRA provides. I would encourage everyone to check it out.

I do not think it is accurate to say that the NRA is "silent."

For example, here is one of the items that the President of the NRA has posted just this morning. You will note he is not that pleased with any of the candidates:

12/7/2007

I've already asked presidential candidate Barack Obama some questions about what the Second Amendment means to him. But other candidates have also expressed vocal support for the Second Amendment while going after American gun owners.

Hillary Clinton, for example, told the Des Moines Register, "I support the Second Amendment. Law-abiding citizens should be able to own guns... but I also believe strongly in smart laws that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists."

Now, I could spend hours asking Hillary about her position on the Second Amendment and her treatment of gun owners, but this is a blog, not a novel. So here are a couple of follow-up questions.

Hillary, do you think the law-abiding citizens of Washington, D.C., have an individual right to own guns in their own homes for their own protection?

Hillary, do you think the D.C. gun ban is a "smart law,?"

Hillary, do you think your husband's gun ban, which lasted a decade and banned thousands of firearms based on purely cosmetic features, is another one of those "smart laws?"

Hillary, so you agree with the position of your husband's administration that the second amendment is only a government right, not and individual right and there's absolutely nothing to prevent the government from confiscating all citizens firearms?

The days of political candidates being able to duck and run on the Second Amendment issue are over. It's time to find out what their real positions are, and I challenge every reporter who has access to Hillary to pose these questions to her.
