Don't Shoot Until ......

I received a "survey" from the National Rifle Association. The questions were pretty much slanted towards the NRA's point of view. But the one that really interested me was the the one that stated: "Using your tax dollars, the United Nations is preparing to impose gun control affecting you and other American citizens. Do you think this is a good use of your tax dollars?" How very typical of the NRA! Stretch the truth and then ask folks to agree with your opposition. Truth: In the 1990s, the United Nations was sponsoring a series of conferences to address the spread of small weapons and light arms — ranging from pistols and submachine guns to grenade launchers and anti-tank gunsthat was fueling civil wars and killing millions worldwide. I suppose the NRA also sees the treaty on nuclear proliferation as an assault on the right to bear arms. When it comes to the NRA, don't shoot until you see the burning red glow in their eyes!!
