Changes Afoot at the NRA

Big changes coming up at the NRA:

This spring, Froman will take over as the president of the National Rifle Association, a 4 million-member organization that is one of the country's most powerful lobbying groups. NRA president is a spot once held by Hollywood legend Charlton Heston, a man both loved and loathed for his passionate defense of gun rights.

Froman's goals are to diversify membership and dispel what she calls the "myths of the NRA."

"The media wants to paint us all as a bunch of bubbas and rednecks, but it's simply not true," Froman said. "The image of the NRA needs to be corrected. The stereotype needs to be debunked."

Her new job will continue to keep Arizona, a state where the love affair with firearms hasn't ebbed since territorial days, in the spotlight.

Sandra Susan Froman, 55, wears navy blue business suits and stands a whisker over 5 feet. A graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School, her favorite hobby is putting together scrapbooks. She didn't own a gun until she was 32 years old, a few weeks after that stranger tried to pick her lock.

Since then, Froman has turned into an avid marksman and a fierce advocate for the Second Amendment.

This strikes me as a Good Thing!
