National Rifle Association's Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre addressed the United Nations this afternoon. He told the U.N. to not interfere with the Second Amendment freedoms of Americans and pledged to continue the fight to preserve civilian ownership of firearms in the U.S. He said the NRA will oppose any U.N. provision that seeks to prohibit or regulate U.S. civilian firearm ownership.  LaPierre said in his remarks, "The cornerstone of our freedom is the Second Amendment. Neither the United Nations, nor any other foreign influence, has the authority to meddle with the freedoms guaranteed by our Bill of Rights, endowed by our Creator, and due to all humankind."

Read the transcript.  Amen, Mr. LaPierre, Amen.

The NRA is the one organization whose sole purpose is to defend the freedoms guaranteed to us as American citizens.

If you are not already a member of the NRA but own guns, it is time to make a little sacrifice so Wayne LaPierre and the NRA can continue to fight for your freedom.

What really bothers me about this issue is that it's been going on for years and the NRA has been warning us about it for all that time. 

But an awful lot of gunnies were calling the rest of us "paranoid" and saying "it can't happen here --why, we've got the constitution behind us," and "the NRA is just fear-mongering to obtain more members."

Yeah, well, we had the constitution behind us throughout New York City's infamous Sullivan Law, the National Firearms Act, the Gun Control Act of 1986, etc, and the thousands of local law infringements on them there constitutional rights.

This back-door effort to castrate the Second Amendment through UN treaties is a real and present danger to our freedom. 

Paranoid?  The constitution will protect us from infringement on our rights?

OK.  Just remember that the next time you have to fill out a 4473, and do your begging for your civil rights with whatever other local permission slips you need.

Put it this way:  If you are not a member of the NRA or any other of the aggressive, national gun rights organizations, you should be ashamed of yourself.

There.  I said it, and I ain't takin' it back, and if you don't like it, you can lump it.

Grrrrr.

Most of us are not saying it can't happen; it just won't happen with our current Senate.  Maybe if we lost ALL Of the 2A dems a treaty could pass.  The problem is that we made the ATF -- and then THEY make their rules.  Most of our country is not fond of having the "UN" tell us what to do.

Oh, and I'm a member of most organizations life with NRA / SAF
