One Eye picks fire ant out of his eye. The NRA did that all by themselves? I thought the voters of America might have had something to do with it....We kept staunch anti-gun Gore and Kerry out of the White House.

One eyed fatman comes out from behind large rock with both hands held high. Asks sheriff if he speaks English. One eyed fatman now staked across fire ant bed. In broken lawyer gibberish sheriff says ants give good back rub. One eyed fatman enjoys back rub till he finds out about amendments that allow ants to eat eyes out. Medicine man comes by and frees One eyed fatman before fire ants eat out his eyes and says, hey I think we got a good lawsuit here.

NRA says: 'Accept gun control' - ACTION NEEDED
If you're an NRA donor, it appears your pro-gun money may now be
funding an insider deal to push gun control into law. And with gun
owners being dragged from their homes and disarmed in the wake of the
recent natural disaster, this is the worst possible time for such
complicity.
That's why you must call the NRA today (800.392.8683), so we can pass
H.R. 800 -- a clean House version of the gun makers and sellers
protection act.
As you know, the Senate version of this bill (S 397) recently passed
with several anti-gun amendments. But the House version, H.R. 800, is
still a straight forward pro-gun bill with no concessions to the gun
grabbers.
However, right now, NRA staffers are telling gun rights activists that
they "must" accept anti-gun provisions to pass the gun makers
protection bill.
They are also telling activists that the trigger lock amendment is "no
big deal" and the new provision to "study" so called "armor piercing"
ammo is "nothing to worry about."
Don't buy it. Next, you can rest assured, anti-gunners will draft
legislation making it mandatory that you use those trigger locks in
your home, and THAT will be a very big deal. And you can be sure that
all who voted for the mandatory trigger locks, will have no choice but
to vote to mandate their use. What possible excuse could they have not
to?
The excuses used to justify the anti-gun amendments are the same
dishonest tactics that politicians use to appease and buy off
activists. But coming from NRA leadership, one might wonder whether NRA
bosses view themselves as activists representing gun owners, or as
lobbyists working to justify the backroom deals of the politicians.
Why are they making excuses for the people who voted to sell out gun
owners, rather than standing firm for the people who fund them?
This is worse than any politician's flip-flop, because NRA leadership
said they would be sure to strip off any gun control amendments in
conference committee. As you know, we opposed that strategy from the
beginning and now you can see why.
Unless we hold NRA leadership accountable, they will cut a backroom
deal with your freedoms and go against their word.
What's worse, this strategy is doomed to failure. You do the math: If
we "accept" two major gun controls in exchange for one pro-gun bill,
doesn't that equate to the anti-gunners advancing their agenda twice as
far as ours?
We must not allow the anti-freedom radicals to gain ground with the
blessing of those who should be defending gun rights.
The "armor piercing ammunition" study could turn into more restrictions
on almost any round that can be chambered in any firearm, and the
mandatory trigger lock legislation is a totally unacceptable intrusion
into your business that serves no purpose other than to extend the
heavy hand of the government.
What's more, you can bet that the House Leadership will gladly roll
over and ignore the house version of this bill -- H.R. 800 -- which is
a good, clean bill without any gun control if they think they can get
the thumbs up from NRA leadership, who say they speak for you.
Now is the time to pressure your Congress member, and NRA to pass a
clean bill with no attacks on your gun rights.
Action:
1. Call the NRA at 800.392.8683 and tell them to stop supporting S.
397 and support H.R. 800. The NRA always says they don't support gun
control. This is
their chance to PROVE it. Tell them to fight for H.R. 800 -- a gun
control FREE version of S 397. As you know, the NRA often reminds you
that they are among the "most effective" and most "feared" lobbying
organizations on Capitol Hill. Tell them to use that clout to protect
your rights instead of negotiating with them.
2. Call your Congressman and tell him to vote for H.R. 800 and
against S. 397. You can find their number by going to
http://www.leg.state.or.us/findlegsltr/.
While most NRA members are staunch, no-compromise gun owners, NRA
leadership is willing to support legislation that will hurt gun owners.
They MUST hear from you.
The recent unlawful seizure of civilian firearms in New Orleans has
proven beyond any doubt that government actors are willing to trample
Constitutional Rights, and that many law enforcement and military
personnel are more than willing to obey orders to attack law abiding
America citizens. Now is no time for gun owners to stand for more
attacks on their liberties.
Gun Owners of America has put together a number of links that document
the outrageous behavior of "authorities" in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina. They can be viewed (at least for now) here
<http://www.gunowners.org/notb.htm>
Please contact you Congressman and the NRA today, and tell them NO to
any new laws that attack your rights. And please demand to know what
your Congressman plans to do to prevent another attack on gun owners
such as the one we witnessed in New Orleans,
Oregonians, and everybody else should be concerned about this.. Contact your legislature... The unlawful taking of firearms is disturbing.. that the NRA would consider making deals with the gun-grabbers is even more disturbing.
