    The NRA

    So I thought this was worth mentioning... I received a phone call tonight from the NRA concerning a movement in the U.N to ban guns globally, which btw is BS and totally untrue.

    http://www.undispatch.com/node/9127

    What got me is the way they went about asking me for my support. After I listened to their recording which is described in the link above a woman got on and asked me if I want Hillary Clinton and Third World Dictators telling me if I should own a gun or not. Now while I do support our right to bare arms (to a certain extent) the minute they compared Hillary Clinton to a Third World Dictator they lost me completely which I so eloquently explained to the nice woman with the thick Southern accent. The notion Hillary Clinton is somehow as bad as a Third World dictator is pathetic.

    I have to assume that the NRA doesn't intelligently pick the people they call since anyone with a halfway decent education and a full set of teeth let alone a professional from NY who's highly educated would see through this joke of a message. I have no issues with the NRA but in no way shape or form would I EVER support them now. Ok rant over.

    Nice Moose! I like the Russian made rifle as opposed to the American M-16. The AK is much better!

    Hillary is more like a second world dictator...she could probably run Finland fairly well.

    I have fired both and the 16 feels like a toy. The AK justs feels more solid and so good when it fires. My buddy in Dallas owns one and I love shooting that thing in fact I got a pic somewhere I need to find. It's awesome.

    This is where I oppose gun ownership...no citizen needs an AK47 or an M16 and there is no case to be made why its required.

    Then why do we have car companies selling V6 & V8 SUVs like hot cakes?

    The speed limit is only 70mph max in the US, why do we have cars that can do that do way beyond that?

    Re: The NRA

    There are a few things interesting. The supposed treaty says control the sale of arms to irresponsible governments and militias

    Not so bad

    The Obama administration inserted a provision in the resolution stipulating that domestic guns sales would not regulated by the agreement.

    Again not bad.

    I am for citizens legally bearing arms. While I support the NRA's principals I think they can get too radical.

    i agree, and that's the only reason why i don't support the NRA the same was i support the USO and AOPA.




    on a side note, the AK-47 is hands down a better rifle than the M-16. much more rugged design.
