Defeat the U.N.'s Doomsday Treaty Before it Destroys our Freedoms!


Dear Fellow American,

NRA Executive Vice President and New York Times bestseller, Wayne LaPierre has just released his most explosive book EVER.

In The Global War on Your Guns, LaPierre tells the shocking truth—unfiltered by the national media—about the U.N.’s conspiracy to ban ALL firearms. That means your rifles, your shotguns and your handguns!

Get your
copy NOW!


LaPierre exposes the dictatorships, terrorist states and over 500 anti-gun groups moving this chilling threat from blueprint to binding treaty.

He unmasks the conspiracy’s mastermind, Rebecca Peters, the architect of Australia’s national disarmament of the law-abiding, and subsequent destruction of all firearms in government blast furnaces.

He’ll show you the frightening truth: that a future anti-gun president—say, President Hillary Clinton—has the power to bypass the needed two-thirds ratification by the U.S. Senate and turn this brazen assault on freedom into the law of our land.

LaPierre hones in on shameful U.N. hypocrisy where their cries for complete disarmament cover-up the real agenda: take away the one freedom that gives common men and women the ultimate power to defend their lives against dictators, genocidal governments and other criminals….

Criminals that include U.N. peacekeepers and U.N. member nations!

The Global War on Your Guns tells you about the genocide in Sudan-–a U.N. member nation and former chair of the Human Rights commission—where the government arms criminal gangs who murder Arab-Africans in Darfur.

And how Bulgaria and Romania emptied their prisons and psychiatric wards, making the inmates peacekeepers to send to Cambodia, where they raped, robbed and stole from a defenseless citizenry.

And in spite of ample documentation, these crimes have been swept under the rug by both the U.N. and national media.

Sadly, LaPierre also reveals how dozens of nations—whose freedom was bought and paid for with the lives of American soldiers—are turning a blind-eye to the U.N.’s arrogance, corruption and outright hatred of liberty, working with Kofi Annan’s stooges to snuff out the Second Amendment.

Finally, The Global War on Your Guns lays out what every American can do today to defeat this doomsday treaty before it destroys our freedom.

Just as a handful of patriots fired the “shot heard ’round the world” at Concord Bridge, it’s up to you and me and every patriot who cherishes our Bill of Rights to tell the world today that our nation will not be bullied by the U.N.

Ours is the last free country on earth where free people have the right to own firearm. Please help us keep it that way.

Thank you.

NOW they not only think the Dems are trying to take their guns, but now it's the UN??????

1. Great...

just what we need, a whole legion of crazy, paranoid, nativist fuckwads with guns!!!:scared:

[pinniped]

2. Bolton would be proud of this creep.

[Redneck Socialist]

3. As much as I support the RKBA...

I gotta admit that the NRA is run by a bunch of wack jobs. LaPierre has been pimping his book like crazy. Railing against the UN is so '80's. You'd think they'd have come up with a new boogie man by now.

[Richard Steele]

20. Yup, I feel the same way.

I didn't used to...but they just get more panderingly ridiculous
every time I turn around.

I support the RKBA, and I certainly appreciate the many many years
that the NRA worked to defend the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution.

But the NRA that did all that is long gone, and in its place
is just another money-machine willing to say or do anything,
no matter how dishonest or silly,
to keep the $$$ coming in.

Those excerpts look like Wayne LaP had Ann Coulter ghostwriting for him...
or maybe he just added the human touch to the output of
a computer program that randomly assembles RW buzzwords?

4. the ignorance of some people amazes me

seriously, some idiots think the Secretary General is the king of the world, but Kofi Annan put it best-- "Chief bureaucrat among bureaucrats."

[napi21]

5. Thanks for reading it! I can't believe the idiots at the NRA are this

bad! My husband has a lifetime membership. Bought it for $125 about 40 years ago. He enjoys his gun collection, though he rarely hunts anymore. I had my email taken off their list quite a while ago, but I guess they thought they could slip this one through, since it was addressed to Fellow American! The old ones used to come addressed to my husband!

Even he has turned against this group that has become a bunch of nuts!

[BREMPRO]

6. the NRA: spreading ignorance at a feverish pitch for over a century!

PILING on to the latest UN bashing campaign by Bolton...

a coincidence? if someone can connect the dots we have a conspiracy!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

7. Alright! Who left the gate to the NutFarm open?!!

They're friggin EVERYWHERE today!

:scared:

[napi21]

8. Are you saying I'm from the nut farm?

I've been called crazy for a lot of things, and actually plead guilty! But I posted this email because I thought DUers might like to know the damn NRA is getting crazier than ever!

[niyad]

10. my guess is that this person was referring to the nra message, NOT to you

there have certainly been a lot of weird things brought to our attention today (and it isn't even full moon yet, scary)

[napi21]

12. Well, sometimes I really think I AM living in a nut farm!

Shrub hs done this to me!!!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

14. not you! the cucku nut that sent that e-mail and

and the one who wrote that book and the hate-spewing bleached blond thing, and the chimp.

never you! :hug:

[napi21]

16. Thanks for the clarification. I do admit, I feel like I'm living in a

Coockcoo nut world now, and manybe sometimes it rubs off a little on me.

9. I can't help but think of Afghanistan and Iraq---

and how the huge number of firearms in those countries kept the citizenry safe and their governments in check.

[napi21]

11. That's an interesting thought. What was the deal in Iraq when Sadam

was in power? Could everyone have guns? Was it only the Sunis? If it was everybody, were they so afraid, they wouldn't use them?

I really don't know the answer to those questions, but you brought up a valid point.

As far as Afgan...I think they've been shooting at each other for years.

[EST]

18. Centuries, actually.

Remember the movie, "The Khyber Rifles?" The Afghans have been building weapons for a couple hundred years in little one or two man factories, pretty much hand constructed.
The small amount of machining is done with primitive, hand driven, home made tools. The ammunition was often unique to the weapon.

Of course, muzzle loaded rifles were not so tough, but later the NATO round and the 7.62 round that is so common for the ak47 became a kind of gold standard.

I am not a firearms enthusiast, although I do keep a 12 Ga shotgun (over one hundred years old and so burned out that it's not safe to fire) and a near 100 year old .22 that my dad left me when he died.

My understanding is that guns were extremely common in Iraq but Sadaam was so ferocious in any retaliation that no one dared use them in defense against his tyranny unless they were prepared for death for themselves and a slow, torturous death for their families and friends.

13. Anything to sell a book, eh? What was L Ron Hubbard's comment

about becoming rich by starting a religion? That's all this guy is doing. Find a cult, write a book telling them they are the only smart people in the world and everyone else is out to destroy them and that you are the only one who can save them. They buy your book, they send you money, they make you god.

Whether Bozo even believes his own crap is irrelevant to everyone involved.

[nealmhughes]

15. The last time I got mail I detested from a mailing list,

I got some very thin lead, cut it into strips slightly smaller, stacked in into the postage paid envelope and noted "Postmaster! Envelope contains lead! Please weigh and note weight to the prepaid sender."

I don't know if it even went through, but they probably have to, technically, and hopefully charged whomever it was an arm and a leg. I was about 20 then and doing a lot of work for the Sandinistas and this was from some right wing org. I was froggy then.

[napi21]

17. Believe me, I would have dont something similar IF it had been

something I had received via the US Mail. This trash cam in an email!

[Random_Australian]

19. YES! YES! MY COUNTRY LEADS THE CONSPIRACY!! Alright!

Awesome!

makes me feel proud, being part of another international conspiracy. (Now I am part of the anti-gun conspiracy AND the evil atheist posse)

[kevinbgoode]

21. There's a sucker born every minute

and unfortunately, the country elected every nutcase opportunist to public office.

[benEzra]

22. Geez, I wish the NRA wasn't so shrill...

but IANSA (the NGO that sets the agenda for the UN conference on small arms) most assuredly IS trying to enact a binding agreement to scale back civilian gun ownership. Check it out for yourself:

http://www.iansa.org/members/IANSA-media-briefing-low-res.pdf

2. Regulation of civilian ownership of weapons

(snip)

Governments should agree to:

• Promote gun owner responsibility by requiring all firearms to be
registered. Individuals permitted to own guns and ammunition
must be held to account for their security, use and misuse.

• Define minimum criteria for private ownership of guns with
a national system of licensing. These should include proven
capacity to handle a gun safely; knowledge of the relevant law;
age limit; proof of valid reason; and a security screening based on
criminal record or history of violence, including intimate partner
violence. Licences should also be required for ammunition.

• Prohibit civilian possession of military-style rifles, including semiautomatic rifles that can be converted to fully automatic fire and semi-automatic variants of military weapons.

• Introduce safe storage requirements to prevent gun accidents,
suicide, misuse and theft.

The IANSA agenda document also includes these gems:

Elements of effective national gun laws: an example from Australia

• Gun ownership should require a licence obtained by meeting a series of criteria which include a minimum age, a clean criminal record, undergoing safety training and establishing a genuine reason for needing to own a gun.

• All guns must be registered at time of sale or transfer and when the licence is renewed.

• There is a 28-day waiting period to buy a gun.

• ‘Genuine reason’ must be proved separately for each gun, effectively imposing a limit on the number that any one person can own.

• Guns cannot be bought or sold privately but only through licensed dealers or the police.

• There are strict requirements on how guns must be stored.

That is COMPLETELY unacceptable to American gun owners, whether Dem or indie or repub. Fuhgetaboudit.

I should point out that the head of IANSA (Rebecca Peters) is the individual who brought sweeping gun confiscation to Australia, and she has made it explicitly clear that she intends to bring it here.
