Just got a NRA robocall from (Wayne La Pierre) claiming |
|
Hillary Clinton is making a treaty with the UN that will ban all firearms in the USA. A couple friends of mine that belong to the NRA have also received e-mails with the same claim. Of course they want money. It's another NRA lie. http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/untreaty.asphttp://www.factcheck.org/2009/12/international-gun-ban-treaty/

1. Fear not... internatinoal treaties do not overrule the bill of rights. |
|
The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Constitution supersedes international treaties ratified by the United States Senate. The treaty would have to be written to comply with 2nd and 10th amendments.

2. Tell that to some moron that believes anything the NRA |
|
tells them. One of the guys was all worked up about it this morning calling Hillary every name in the book. He's one of those people that retired from a union job with a good pension and is a Democrat but is scared into voting Republican year after year by the NRA.

turned the NRA into a right wing Republican funding instrument the minute he conned his way into the top job back in the 90's. I dumped my membership shortly after that and I've never looked back.

putting taggets in explosives after the Oklahoma City bombing and he called the FBI jackbooted thugs. The NRA is nothing but a lobbying and fundraising organisation for the GOP.

You'd think responsible, law-abiding owners of firearms would try to distance themselves from such an organization built on lies like that.

7. That's at the least a recycled Birch Society spiel from the '60s |

it may even be older than that. Just substitute appropriate names, rinse and reuse. The racists, the haters, the conspiracists are not too creative, they do recycle though. Lord, i love hearing the oldies!

9. That's not possible. The NRA is not a political organization - it's just |
|
a bunch of people defending their 2nd amendment rights. Why would they lie about anything?
