A few weeks ago it came to the attention of the gun community that NRA board member Joaquin Jackson made some dumbass comments regarding “assault weapons” and since then people have basically been calling for his head.
See here for the video. View the last video segment to hear what he said. It basically boils down to Jackson saying that nobody but law enforcement or military should have more than a 5 round magazine. When called on it Jackson tried to backpedal saying that he only meant that fully automatic guns should be limited to 5 rounds, not semi-automatic weapons.
This nonsense wouldn’t pass muster in a debate against members of the Special Olympics.
So, due to his 1) saying something stupid and 2) failing to admit he said something stupid, folks are taking action to remove him from the NRA board. If you’re an NRA member and you think Jackson was out of line then take some time to look into the matter of the recall.
Apparently the whole Jim Zumbo incident was lost on him. This is why I trust the NRA less and less.
