The caller ID stated 877-560-6286. This call comes in almost every weekday afternoon. I usually just let it ring but today I picked it up.
It was a prerecorded message from millionaire Wayne Lapierre (sounds French) of the NRA warning me about the United Nations conspiracy to take away my guns.
That the UN with the help of China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and the Obama Administration are ready to pass a resolution to ban all handguns, rifles and shotguns.
I don't even own any.
It ends with asking me to press one if I agree it is a bad idea to allow the United Nations to take away the second amendment or to press two if I thought it was a good idea.
I pressed two.
The call then abruptly ends.
What kind of illiterate, ignorant, hillbilly redneck actually believes this nonsense?
Funny how I get these phone calls after I came back from Afghanistan.
I am also getting the American Legion magazine for some reason. Just on a side note, all the ads are for walk-in showers and reverse mortgages.
