RE: General Ashcroft make his move
by Jonathan Wienke 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I get the NRA's American Rifleman magazine. The July issue also has an article about Ashcroft's letter, which does not quote the rather lengthy footnote. However, it does contain a legible image of BOTH pages of the letter, including the ENTIRE text of the footnote. This is hardly the action of an organization bent on distorting Ashcroft's view on the Second Amendment. Stupid editing on the part of the America's First Freedom team, perhaps, but not an organization-wide conspiracy.
