It s obvious Ms. Macalady is a single parent who s seeking some masculine influence for her children from her father. An admirable endeavor in itself, but especially when it involves an honorable pastime such as hunting. It is unfortunate that Ms. Macalady is not familiar enough with the NRA to know that not only is the NRA the oldest and largest provider of firearms safety in the nation, but that it commonly instructs civilians and police officers. Frequently, military personnel will seek out the NRA to acquire further safety and compentcy training. It is also unfortunate that Ms. Macalady doesn t recognize the fact that the NRA is one of the oldest conservation organizations in the nation.
Hunters really are the original conservationists.
Theodore Roosevelt was an avid hunter and outdoorsman. He was also a visionary conservationist in creating our first National Park. Frequently hunters will share meat with needy people in their community. It s to bad environmentalists weren t so generous and community oriented. It is sad that Clinton and his trainee, Gore, don t have the vision that President Theodore Roosevelt had.
