MSNBC is going to have to start paying us for re-distributing their programming.Actually, we're running this one again because, through the quirks of cyberspace, an email address of ours has been passed around the right, & we've gotten some interesting communications, including this one, from the very same Alan Gottlieb (We assume, yes. There can't be that many gun-clutchers named Alan Gottlieb.) who, although identified above as the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, also seems to be affiliated w/ Citizen's Committee For The Right To Keep And Bear Arms, which is very worried.Can you imagine who these horrid supporters are? Hint: Foreigners!We see why he could barely express himself on Hardball. He can't express himself very well through typing.Yes indeed, call the White House & express your disdain. Please. While you're drowning Senators in faxes. Is it the gun nuts who have faxes & telephones, or is just that Senators are so stupid they have to see printed faxes before they'll believe that a few hundred nuts are in a lather?
Either way, we'd love to see Mr. Gottlieb return to Hardball to explain this nugget of paranoia.Is it still 1961?
As a gun nut myself, I've seen this gun nuttery for years. The business about the UN has been circulating for years, and reached fever pitch in the late 1990's or early 2000's when the UN set up some commission to look into international gun trafficking, esp. the business in small arms, in which many of the child soldiers of the world are armed by governments and warlords and drug cartels. The mere mention of "guns" and "U.N." in the same sentence caused the gun nuts to go apolplectic and to spin out conspiracy theories that Stubby would laugh at. P.
Hell, the UN paranoids have fits over signs that say "The UN recognizes this as a swell national park." Because they're coming to take our parks or something.
Really, is there a political division anywhere that's less likely to pay attention to anything the UN says or does than these United Snakes?
