And the second paragraph illustrates my point! I would agree that most NRA members are probably not big environmentalists, but in a lot of ways they should be! They tend to be outdoors-men, and should want to protect the environment!

Ah that comes down to a difference between THE environment and the outdoors as is relevant to them.

Let Billybob sport hunt humpback whales and things might be different.
Also remember Republicans aren't like some freakish Harkonnens or something where they want to destroy the environment. They even push environmental regulations(I.e. Bush's Blue Skies program). They just aren't as environmental as the Democrats claim to be and believe in working with industry in the process.
