American Firearms Association?!?!? What the hell is THAT???

[NRAJOE]

I don't know! Did a google search and came up zero.

[Calvin]

I searched, too, and came up empty. Wonder where that came from??

[Big Dog]

Calvin, ya beat me to it - that sent up a red flag! Sounds like they oughta be "pro-gun", but who knows?

[wes]

I used to teach self-defense for "Safe kids",they didn't like it that I was teaching them to really defend themselves. Thought I should be teaching them not to hurt anyone.

[guffster]

Man, what a list! Bunch of bleeding heart liberals, although I know that not all the individual members of these groups agree with their philosophy.

[NRAJOE]

I like how the ACLU will fight for all those wacky rights, but back away from the 2nd Amendment...bunch of hypocrites!
