    I found an old copy of the newsletter he used to put out back in the day and just got to wondering where he went. Anyone know?

    He was consumed by his irrelevancy and his inability to read the changing tides of activism in this state.

    Oh, and when it came out that he was apparently using pro-gun money to be funneled to businesses that he owns, and was using pro-gun money to attack pro-gun legislators as cover for seating an NRA rep's father in the House of Delegates.....all of that too.

    He was a toad.

    He was a toad with a bank full of gun owners' money who used that money to work against both pro-2a groups as well as pro-2a legislators.

    Wasn't he the treasurer of Berwyn Rod and Gun Club at one time?

    dunno - that does sound right though.

    Then he tried to be the money guy behind the AGC PAC "Take Back Maryland" that crashed and burned after JJ decided to become a registered lobbyist, and could no longer serve in the PAC.

    I don't recall that - Jim and JJ are far from being allies, especially by that time in history. There was nearly as much bad blood there as there is between King Jim and the membership here.
