NRA and Alaska Gun Collectors Honor Sarah Palin

After a week below the media's radar, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin resurfaced Saturday night at an Anchorage banquet which wrapped up a four-day NRA seminar hosted by the Alaska Gun Collectors Association, according to the Associated Press.

The NRA's big guns, including President Ronald Schmeits and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, were in attendance, as was Wayne Anthony Ross, chairman of the Gun Collectors Committee, according to a report by Phil Schreier.

The 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate delivered what Schreier called a "stirring" speech on on Second Amendment rights. Palin was presented with the NRA's Gold Medal Award of Merit for the Promotion of Gun Collecting, and she was given Life Memberships in The Missouri Valley Arms Collectors Association, Ohio Gun Collectors Association and the Dallas Arms Collectors Association. An NRA Benefactor Life Membership was also presented to the former governor by members of the Missouri Valley Arms Collectors Association.
