For those who have read PART I and PART II of “The Estates Matrix” and wonder why in PART IV we will make a strong case for Citizens and Households to establish a robust, well informed presence in The Fourth Estate:
Take a look at Richard Feldman’s Op Ed “A Gun Lobbyist’s Lament: The NRA’s Main Target? Its Members’ Checkbooks.”
My father was one of the gun owners who Mr. Feldman would like to represent. M. E. Risse died in 1963. I have his NRA life membership pin. Acquiring that membership was one of the most, and perhaps only, extravagance he (and my mother) allowed themselves in the last 30 years of his life.
