		<description>Would you like to elaborate, thirdpower?  Where is your evidence that TRCP wants to ban guns?  Really, I&#039;d love to know.

Just because a group has traditionally worked for hunters doesn&#039;t make them anti-gun.  Just because you personally have not heard of them or made an effort to learn about other allied groups on the issues doesn&#039;t mean they are anti-gun.</description>

		<description>From the article: &lt;i&gt;&quot;I&#039;m sure that a considerable percentage of the NRA&#039;s 4 million members are also members of labor unions. Gun owners, per sé, have nothing against labor unions. In fact, I&#039;m told that about a quarter of all union members today also belong to the NRA.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Total union membership in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.workinglife.org/wiki/Union+Membership:+Overall+(1948-2004)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;u.S.&lt;/a&gt; 15,472,000.

The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FAQs/Default.aspx?Section=27&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NRA&lt;/a&gt; claim 4.3 million members.

I doubt that 90% of them are union members.   Me thinks someone is attempting to exaggerate the influence this &quot;USA&quot; group might have on the NRA.
[(.25 x 15.472)/4.3 * 100 = 90%]</description>

		<description>Actually, looking at who&#039;s involved with this, at first glance, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a false flag operation.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sure once it&#039;s looked into a bit, it will be discovered that the majority of the leadership are more anti&#039;s as well.  It&#039;s so cute they have to give themselves a name to create a USA acronym.</description>
