An open letter from Aaron Zelman, founder and director of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, to Ted Nugent, rocker and NRA board member:

Ted, the day I'll join the NRA is...

When the NRA announces, from the rooftops, that the police have NO LEGAL DUTY to protect the average American citizen. Time after time, our courts have upheld this. If every American understood this, we would see gun ownership, and Second Amendment awareness, burgeon across our nation. The tide would resolutely turn in our favor....

When the NRA calls for the complete and unconditional disbanding of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE). Gun owners should be appalled at the NRA leadership's incestuous "good cop/bad cop" dance with the BATFE. For decades there has been a symbiotic, and liberty threatening, "good ole' boy" relationship between NRA and BATFE. They should instead be mortal enemies.

And so on, and so on.
