I just got the wackiest call from the NRA

[eggplant]

It had a great recorded message from Wayne LaPierre about how the UN is going to come and take away all of our guns and that the best way to stop this is to make Obama a one term president. It asked how I felt about the UN coming to American soil and trying to take away our guns.

It was so completely over the top I had to stifle my laughter when a human came on at the end to solicit me. Instead, I had a friendly, very one-sided conversation with her. I made it clear that while I am concerned about any real threat to take away my guns, could she name any point in time where the current administration had made any effort of any kind to restrict my 2nd amendment rights? And then when she tried to get back on point about the UN being a big evil orgnaization, I said that the UN is free to do whatever they want, and we simply don't have to sign the treaty. Moreover, that the *STATES* have to ratify the terms and that it isn't up to the president whether we sign the treaty or not.

She spluttered for a bit and went on about how she wasn't allowed to comment about her own personal views, so I went on about how I think that if the threat is actually real, then it is a serious thing, but that when someone tells me there is a boogyman out there, I'd like to see some evidence that the boogyman really exists before I give my money and my vote.


Wow, just wow. the NRA is really over the top on this one.
