Methinks Bob Owens is becoming a little too full of himself. Or was he privy to the NSSF's entertainment planning ? I'm not sure why a standup comedian was needed. But if the ED needed one with national repute he was in for a problem IAC. There are few, if any, doing standup with "family-friendly" material.
Moreover, Mr Owens seems all too ready to "bite the hands that feed him" by implying this (non-issue) is the fault of the NSSF or show attendees. Across America the most strident, the most vindictive and the most radical are the gun-control extremists. They encourage "SWATTING", boycotts, and assassination of gun owners. Why would anyone earning a living in the public venue expose themselves to this risk and hate ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
