I've been an off again on again member ever since. I went out and made some new purchases a few weeks ago, (Remmington 870 12 GA Marine Magnum and HK USP 9mm) just in case. I may have to send the NRA a check too, and maybe the ILA as well (and get my beeper back ;) ).
I don't think the cities will win these cases, tobacco isn't protected by the constitution, and there are enough of us to stop any jury.
Batten down the hatches and gear up.
