I too am a fan of the Firearms Coalition work usually; but I thought your criticism of the NRA over the Holder nomination was both unfair and not accurate. You didn't mention that Stephen Halbrook went to Capitol Hill to testify against Holder's nomination (making it appear as if all NRA done was to write a letter opposing it) and I didn't see any suggestions on what NRA could have done to more effectively oppose it given makeup of the Senate currently.

I would like to hear more about good candidates for the NRA Board though. I know AR15.com has endorsed Joseph P. DeBergalis, Jr. and George P. Kollitides. I would assume based on the ARF endorsement that neither of these men are shrinking violets and are unlikely to be giving Joaquin Jackson like interviews any time soon.

In any case, both men have posted at the thread linked above and talked a bit about their bid.
