When Matt Dillon died how many bullet holes were in his body.

[Rex Rugged]

I was born in the early 50's When I was in grade school the Catholic school where I attended set aside one whole day for the entire school to attend a presentation given by the NRA. Every child in school learned that day about two things: 1) Gun Safety, 2( hunter etiquette which was heavy on respect for property owners. I grew up around and with guns and love them to this day. I became a lifetime member of the NRA but one thing still stands out to me, back then the NRA presentation never included political speech. Then in 1966 an ex-marine with a brain tumor commenced to shooting random people from atop the Texas Tower on a college campus. Things have never been the same. Here is an article I think is worth reading about that day and our shared history since.
