Joaquin Jackson, Board of Governors NRA, supports AWB.
Please vote accordingly.
h/t to Larry Vickers Facebook page.
Don’t leave the NRA
DO vote Mr. Jackson out.
Now that is the NRA I remember.
Definitely vote him out!! He is exactly why we need someone like Larry in as a board member
Larry “toe tappin” Craig should go too. He can take Ollie North with him.
Watrdawg- I agree; maybe it was fate that an M4C member asked me a couple days ago about the NRA BOD but I have been giving it serious thought and after seeing this with Jackson I am leaning heavily for running for the board next year in 2014
I am still mulling it over but things like this really push me in that direction
If I decide to do it M4C will be the first to know
I’m sure you can find some other like-minded industry professionals to accompany you!
Mr. Vickers, if we can be of any assistance, please let us know.
Like the bumper sticker on my previous pickup said: “I’m the NRA, and I vote.”
Larry, I truly hope you decide to run. I know it’s a huge sacfrice of your time but we need someone like you in a bad way.
We also need this guy too: http://www.bongino.com/about/
This guy is a fucking idiot and I guess it proves a few things.
-
Maybe I thought too highly of the NRA and I have to wonder how many others have this line of thinking.
-
Texas can also breed fucking idiots when it comes to firearms.
-
There are those in LE who think it’s ok that they have something as long as the rest of us “lowly” civilians don’t have 'em. Of course I am sure that as a retired “Ranger” he has rights the rest of his fellow Texans don’t.
Larry,
I encourage you to take the step. You will get plenty of support. We need to do all we can to ensure that this clown gets tossed out and we need to send a message to the NRA that his line of thinking is not going to fly.
If you run, I’ll vote for you.
The NRA is just like any other big organization. You can be a fucking idiot and still run for a board seat. If the people vote you in, the voters are at fault. If he’s never mentioned the AWB thing in the past, folks probably thought he was a good dude. Now we know and it’s time to vote him out at the earliest chance.
That interview was done back in 2005. That video was uploaded in 2007. Mr. Jackson was called to task for his statement. His statement to clarify his position is in the article linked here.

Whether to believe that he misspoke or not is up to you.
I think a lot of (but not all) older people around his age probably feel the same way towards AR’s and hi-cap mags, as they are from what I call, the wood gun generation. Some of the same type people probably see no need to have a cell phone or a TV with a screen over 32" inches. I am sure he is a nice enough guy, “but” IMHO he no longer belongs on the NRA board. His 5 rd mag limit for all weapons for non LE is a joke. In this 2nd amendment fight, compromise will eventually lead to no 2nd amendment. Just remember, this fight isn’t about gun control, gun violence, or crime control, its about people control by some of are elected government officials through their $ backers and the media. Little does pops know that after they get rid of the semi autos, they will be coming after his 6 shot lever action assault rifle. Wake up America !!!
Hey, Larry, anyway to not only get you but also Travis Haley as well on the Board? We could really use some trainers and trigger pullers such as yourself to clarify that problems of gun violence while telling the country that restrictions that have been emotionally drawn up will have no bearing or effect the crazed mass murdering psychos.
LAV, if you decide to run and get elected, I (as I can’t speak for the other 1252 M4Carbine forum members), would gladly donate $50 dollars to help cover the three weeks of your donated time. Just let me know how and where to donate, if you would be for something like this.
People deserve a second chance, but not when it comes down to my rights.
Love his statement there.
“Recently, some misunderstandings have arisen about a news interview in which I participated a few years ago. After recently watching a tape of that interview, I understand the sincere concerns of many people, including dear friends of mine. And I am pleased and eager to clear up any confusion about my long held belief in the sanctity of the Second Amendment.”
Is that not the most patronizing paragraph ever? He’s basically calling us all retards.
If LAV becomes a board member I’ll be donating more money than I can afford to the NRA for a long long time. If nothing else, it would be nice to see someone on the Board who doesn’t still shoot in the Weaver stance.
Like others have said, this video is several years old. It was pretty dis-illiusioning for me. The only reason I kept my NRA life membership was so that I could vote for the BoD and maybe help salvage the NRA. Having somebody like Larry on the board would be a huge step in that direction!
Boot this clown:jester:
Mr. Vickers has my full support.
