Who are these people? What level of membership do they enjoy? Why is anyone listening to them?

Richard Feldman is a former NRA staffer who wrote a supposed "insider tell-all" book called Ricochet. So now he's got a website and an "association."
He's not our friend. The only anti-gun affiliation I've been able to find is a donation to the Heartland Alliance, a group funded in part by the Joyce Foundation.

Here is the board of Directors:
Abel, Daniel New Orleans, LA Civil Rights Attorney. Author Constance, Joe Trenton, NJ NJ Parole Board (Ret.) Chief Detectives, Trenton PD (Ret.) Johnson, Zak Portsmouth, NH Writer, PR consultant, Political organizer McClaughry, John Kirby, VT Pres., Ethan Allen Institute (ret) former State Senator & White House Advisor McCloskey, Pete Rumsey, CA US Congressman (Ret.) Environmental leader and Attorney Sielicki, Mike Rindge, NH Police Chief, Law Enforcement Association Executive Sullivan, Peter Suffolk, NY NYS Assemblyman (Ret.) Hospital Industry Executive (ret.) Swanson, Chuck Ogden, UT Tactical Training Expert, Medical Relief Foundation Executive I know McCloskey was the congressman who switched from (r) to (D) and tried to get Bush run out of office in 2004. I can't find his gun voting record anywhere.

I thought Daniel Abel's name rang a bell, and this book came up. I doubt he's much of a friend to us.
Joseph Constance has traditionally opposed gun control. McClaughry has only spoken once on gun control. He seems to oppose bans but supports universal background checks. All in all, a mixed bag, and an unpredictable one at that.

Gosh I wonder why they don't go ahead and just say what book he wrote on their website:

Sielicki surprises me, I thought he was on our side. ETA Ok, Able states multiple times in his book that Bob Ricker and Feldman provided him source material for his work. Feldman was Ricker's boss so this all starting to make sense? Feldman comes off as a weird opportunist rather than a banner. I am sure he would sell us out for headline.
