Each year, the NRA recognizes outstanding women who show a dedication to the preservation of the Second Amendment and our shooting sports. The Marion P. Hammer Woman of Distinction Award and Sybil Ludington Women's Freedom Award are presented to those who exemplify the qualities of true NRA supporters.
The Marion P. Hammer Woman of Distinction Award is named for the first female President of the NRA, known for her grassroots efforts and pivotal role as a lobbyist for Flordia's Right-To-Carry legislation. This award recognizes exceptional contributions to the preservation of the Second Amendment and the shooting sports through advocacy, education, volunteerism, and legislative activism in accordance with the goal of the NRA. The Sybil Ludington Women's Freedom Award is named for a heroic young woman who helped America achieve independence, recognizing women for their exceptional accomplishments through legislative activism, advocacy, volunteerism, education of others, and additional pursuits towards the goals of the Second Amendment and the NRA.If they're gonna honor the gals like that, shouldn't they honor the blacks too. I suggest the Crusade for Moorish Dignity Award (I'll bet Greg gets that reference) goes to this guy. And how about the gays, they deserve some special attention.
No, I'm afraid it doesn't work like that down in Fairfax. The NRA is, by and large, made up of racist, homophobes who happen to be fat, white men who wouldn't know the first thing about treating women as equals. They actually think patronizing women with special awards is acceptable.
