A reader, Roger Bjerke, sent me email today with a record of his interaction with the national NRA vis-a-vis the Ronald Dixon case on which I've commented a couple of times here, here, and here. Reprinted below with Roger's permission.
Here is an email I sent to the DA, which I cc'ed to the NRA, and the NRA's response. Looks like they are ready to help, if asked.Posted by Russell Whitaker at March 31, 2003 05:38 PM | TrackBackMr. Hynes,
Just what is going on in that part of the country? Has Hillary's influence clouded common sense? Ronald Dixon should be honored by the city for protecting his family, not persecuted and prosecuted. Whenever I think I've read it all, I come across something so utterly ridiculous that it is on the verge of lunacy. This is one such case.Roger
North DakotaDear Roger,
Thank you for contacting us. We are aware of Mr. Dixon's situation and we offered our help. We will follow the case very closely as it is of great interest to the NRA and to the firearms community. In the mean time, we would gladly consider any requests from either Mr. Dixon or his legal representation, but we would not wish to insert ourselves into his personal situation uninvited. Thank you very much for your support and please feel free to contact us if you ever need anything else!
Best regards,
Don [last name not given]
