It appears that the NRA may have become completely unhinged.
I live in Iowa and I'm a gun owner. This evening, I got a call claiming to be from the NRA and which was ostensibly a poll. The caller asked if she could play a recorded message from some guy who's the president of the NRA. The message was a fear mongering screed about how the UN is meeting right now to put together a treaty to ban guns or something like that. This amused and angered me at the same time and unfortunately, it was such a crazy idea that I had lots of trouble remembering exactly what they were asking me. Anyway, I told them that the NRA president apparently had gone off his medication and that what he was claiming was in store for us was impossible and perhaps one of the craziest things I'd heard in a world far too full of crazy. They actually began the poll question with something like "Do you think 3rd world dictators should ban guns in the US"! I refused to answer their poll question and told them that I don't answer such obvious and unspeakably lame push polls. I said that they should spend their money on improving fire arm safety and getting rid of stupid laws like the absurd "scary gun" ban and other things that would do gun owners some good. I told them they shouldn't be wasting money on completely crazy political stuff like this that is essentially a right winger's fever dream.
Anyway, I wonder if anyone else out there has gotten a poll like this? I really had a hard time listening to the recorded message so I'm curious if anyone else out there got something like this- or if it's a prank.
