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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
