Eddie Eagle doesn't have an NRA logo and neither do the materials and videos.<br /><br />Sorry,<br /><br />VPC propaganda has not proven it ineffective just because they say so.<br /><br />Nice try though but we have already established that single issue advocacy groups like VPC are not a good source.FatWhiteManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946272184958991397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-81559560040656284532011-09-26T13:32:50.102+02:002011-09-26T13:32:50.102+02:00The Eddie Eagle programme has been proven to be in...<a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2009-2010/billanalysis/House/pdf/2009-HLA-1402-3.pdf" rel="nofollow">The Eddie Eagle programme has been proven to be ineffective.</a>Laci The Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138644349857941157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-12730440562832794952011-09-26T10:35:59.761+02:002011-09-26T10:35:59.761+02:00Good article.

Just ignore the NRA logo, kids, and nevermind that nonsense you hear about gun locks, child access prevention laws, or the those annoying statistics about gun-related deaths!
