Well +1 for Brad Pitt and Angelina Joile....
Need someone that bucks the stereotype of gun owners. It seems that most anti-gun people view all gun owners as illiterate, toothless, redneck types or rich, old, white guys.
I don't have anything against rednecks or old white guys, but it's not the best image in this ultra PC world we live in.
Jolie, an avid shooter (she has to be to be getting her own $400k shooting range), Jolie has several times expressed her support of the Second Amendment.
In 2008, Jolie told the U.K.’s Daily Mail, “I bought original, real guns of the type we used in ‘Tomb Raider’ for security. Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. And yes, I’d be able to use it if I had to … If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I’ve no problem shooting them.”
Two others that are pro RKBA:
Brad Pitt:
Pitt said in a recent interview with British magazine Live (in response to more gun control following the Colorado movie shooting), “I absolutely don’t believe you can put sanctions or shackles on what is made. Nor do I want to pretend the world is different than what we witnessed that night… America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere. That’s my thinking, right or wrong.”
Pitt also recently built a $400,000 shooting range as a wedding gift to fiance Angelina Jolie.

Same standards that got the present administration elected twice.We need someone that urban America can identify with. Look at the last Presidential election. The GOP's big gun was Clint Eastwood; Obama had Katy Perry. Anyone that already likes Clint does not need to be won over to "the other side" by his celebrity persona. The NRA needs someone that those undecided persons can identify with, be woken up by, are willing to listen to and then make a decision. The suggestion for Brad Pitt is excellent. He is well liked by people on both sides of the issue. People would listen to what he had to say and not pre-judge it. Ted Nugent comes across as a nut job and honestly, he's an old rock star, how many young people really identify with him? Vs a Brad Pitt, or a Kid Rock?
I disagree......the NRA doesn't need a face anymore than the Tea Party needed one.

What about Joshua Boston? Good guy, though young, and can handle news reporters well.
