Text of e-mail was as follows
U.S. Senate considers legislation on background checks and licensing requirements on black powder
The United States Senate is currently considering legislation that would change the regulations on the possession and handling of black powder, black powder substitutes and smokeless powders. The entire bill can be read by clicking here. The “Explosive Materials Background Check Act,” would require background checks and impose licensing requirements to purchase, possess and transport black powder, black powder substitute and smokeless powder in any quantity.
During the NRA 2013 Convention, NMLRA President Rebecca Waterman and Vice President Jim Fulmer met with members of Congress, industry experts and officials from the NRA to discuss the potential implications of what this legislation would do to the sport of muzzleloading.
The NMLRA encourages you to contact your elected officials and voice your opinion on this matter. You may use the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s elected official lookup to determine who your representatives are in Congress.

That being said wish we would have seen 'e-mail blasts' from them on other gun control measures.
Just shows we all need to work together.
There is no them/us in the gun community, the anti-gunners want them all.
