NRA action shows that people would believe anything

The chairman of the upcoming UN Conference on the illegal trade of small arms have received more than 100,000 letters of complaint from Americans who say it could infringe their constitutional right to bear arms.

It seems the National Rifle Association (NRA) is getting its members roused up by implying that the UN is going to take all their guns away. It is just easy to give each of its member a brochure detailing their one-sided viewpoint (obviously) then just send the form letter to the Conference.

The Conference is reviewing progress on programs initiated by all UN member states on the illegal trade of small arms such as pistols, assault rifles, and machine guns. It has no impact on the private ownership of guns.

Sigh...
