NRA Board Memeber & Texas Ranger on TV calls for limiting to 5 rounds!


www.klru.org/texasmonthlytalks/archives/jackson/jackson.asp


"personally, I think assault weapons have basically need to be in the hands of the military, and need to be in the hands of the police.

As far as assault weapons to a civilian, it's alright if you get the mag capacity down to 5 rounds"

First he thinks ALL civilians should be limited to 5 rounds per weapon.

Second - he really doesn't think any civilian should be able to own assault weapons... and if they are allowed, they should also be capped to 5 rounds.

This guy is a FUDD, through and though.

The enemy is within.

THIS IS AN OLD ARTICLE, NOT CURRENT. Posted to show that there are some enemies on the inside. copied from another board. Sorry to Get everyone riled up.

No. Absolutely not.

How about "educating this fella". What happened to Jim Zumbo sickens me. Yes, he was uneducated, because his primary focus was (rightfully so) on hunting implements and he never was, or claimed to be, an expert in the RKBA. What happened to a good and honorable man because he mis-spoke out of mis-information is disgusting. We either stand together or fall apart.

God bless Ted Nugent for giving Zumbo a place to air his apology and to let it be known that he's going to change his ways.

Let's cut the crap with the boycotts and get as many people on our team as possible. Ruining their lives and / or livelihoods is not a step in the right direction to the furtherance of our cause.

I respectfully disagree. Zumbo is now only on "our team" because of the reaction to what he said.

This Jackson guy may be uneducated but he also probably couldn't care less. What happened to Zumbo was necessary and right. This guy deserves the same.
 
***: This guy is an NRA board member and he's advocating 5 rds is sufficient for civilians plus assault weapons only belong in the hands of the military and police. Think he better be looking for a now cause to advance. Obviously his professional idiology is over riding his constitution duty.

Go down to segment #5, then start writing letters to the NRA and your fellow gunnies, this guy has got to go.

And I respectfully disagree in turn. Zumbo now realizes the full scope of what he said, and has been educated (the hard way). I think he's sincere. Let's give "this Jackson guy" time to reform before pulling out the big guns (so to speak).

Mr Jackson

Mr Jackson did state that he thought that capacities should be limited to 5 rounds. He also said that assault weapons should be in the hands of the military, but they were ok if limited to five rounds only. I am very disappointed by this. I have supported the NRA for about 10 years. I sent them an email as soon as I had finished the interview

And are you going to believe him when he does see the light?

From his NRA bio:
Lives the philosophy: "Say what you mean, mean what you say, and tell it like it is."

First you might want to see whether he still believes that since the interview in question is over two years old.

Second, you might want to verify he is a member of the Board of Directors still, since the link Slimjim gave shows his term expired in 2004.

Third, you had better be a member of the NRA if you want to change it; because only those who have been members for five years or are Life members get to vote.

If this is the views of Jackson and he is a board member of the Association that has billed itself all my life as the last hope for our second amendment rights, he is TRULY the enemy within.

In my family, every person becomes an NRA member in their teens since my Grandfather was a young man. Hearing things like this feels like betrayal.

I promise you I'll be on the phone first thing in the morning to them.


EDIT: I didn't realize that this was two years old. I have to check if he is still there, and it would be a good time to check what positions are held by board members.

Says he won another 3-year term in 2004.....But can't find any info as to whether he is currently serving....

birddog - so Zumbo was focused only on hunting. Ok, so what's JACKSON'S excuse? Being on the board of a pro-RKBA group????

I agree that all RKBA types should stand together. But we need to either educate or weed out those that only pay "lip service" to the cause, for they do us more harm than good. The "fall of Zumbo" should have served as notice of that, to anyone else that harbored similar ideas. :cuss:

After all the hoopla over Zumbo and not to long after that event, this man should have been in the know and he apparently has taken the Fudd side or even the antis side in the so called "assault weapons" debate. He does not deserve the same reconsideration later given to Zumbo IMO, but rather this is where we truly stick together and eliminate the antis sympathizers from our ranks.

Edit:
Oops, should have read the thread more before posting

I looked for a list of current NRA BoD's and can't find them - anybody else have any luck?

*IF* this guy is current maybe we should get Uncle Ted to educate him...a la Zumbo.
 
It was posted on another board as being an example of how some people inside can be our biggest enemies, i didnt realise i had copied the last part of that from the other post. But yea, its old, i just posted it as a reminder, zumbo wasnt the only one.
 
I shot the breeze with Joaquin Jackson at the NRA convention in Houston. I didn't get the faintest idea he had that position. But then again, that particular subject never came up. As for Zumbo, somebody (I forget who) made the remark that we shouldn't shoot our wounded if we can patch 'em up (re-educate) and get 'em back into the fray. Seems to make sense.

I think their excuses are the same. A lot of people, me included, considered arms to be a tool of the hunting / sporting trade and that is the angle with which we viewed the gun-debate. It's not a horrible position, just an uninformed one. I changed, as a result of some people close to me, and this very website. I am now a card-carrying (and ccw carrying) member of the RKBA community AS WELL as being a hunter. I'm telling you that there is gold to be mined in the hunting community. If you treat them (us) as a future asset rather than an uninformed group of "Fudds", you'll add many more allies to the RKBA side of things. The hunting community is just like any other group of people -- it's a cross section. We're not all rednecks, not all uneducated. Quite the opposite. If "this side" is turned to the RKBA side, there is no stopping what our combined energies can do. There are good people on both sides, and our common goals are much more important than our petty differences.

I'm just saying.
 
Wow. That is amazing. How is it possible that someone on the board of the NRA doesn't realize that if there is one class of weapons that the second amendment was intended to protect it is "assault weapons?" Does he think that states should be able to maintain a militia so they can control the deer population?

He is hardly uneducated as a long time LEO and member of the board of directors

And while I believe that standing together has nothing to do with standing with those that stand against us it should be noted that Mr. Heston himself was a very active and vocal advocate for the '68 GCA
 
I hope he see's this thread

I talked to a guy like him, member NRA, likes hunting but doesn't like "them assault weapons, why do you need them"
I was driving my cab and answered "liberals hate them so thats why I got one"

His wife laughed and gave me a good tip.

I think was fibbing and wanted to sound like a gun owner.
