Make no mistake about it, George Soros wants your gun. In addition to funding political organizations to attack George Bush and the Republicans, Soros is also one of the leading backers of International Action Network on Small Arms ("IANSA"), a well funded lefty group dedicated to keeping you from your guns. Right now the UN is meeting in New York to discuss small arms and IANSA is there to push for "an international, legally-binding Arms Trade Treaty" that would limit your 2nd Amendment rights. One of the points IANSA stretches to make is that "gun violence is undermining the fight against poverty." IANSA says that "22 out of the 34 poorest countries are in or emerging from armed conflict" and "Almost 1000 people are dying from guns every day." Note that there is no distinction between military conflict and criminal activity in either one of those talking points. Among the interesting ideas that IANSA promotes are that its "members around the world are working to reduce gun ownership in their communities" and "[a] gun in the home does not make anyone safer, and especially not women." There's no explanation on why they had to throw in the gratuitous point about women. Why should we trust IANSA's data? Well become they say so. IANSA also tells us why we should not trust the gun lobby. IANSA's talking points provide this tid bit: The gun lobby says that Australia/Canada/England banned guns and now only criminals have guns -- crime rates have soared. Why would other countries follow?Notice, they did not actually contradict the gun lobby's statement, though they throw out a stastistic on "gun murder rates" dropping. The gun lobby's point is that crime escalates when the good guys can't own guns and the IANSA's silence on the matter is deafening. By the way, if you want to see all of the IANSA's talking points for dealing with the media at the UN Conference, you can click here. |
Don't see many pump action rifles these days, except at the county fair.
And let this be a lesson to anyone who said there was no good use for a .25 pistol (and a wheelbarrow full of mouse-muntion) ...
Gorge sorrya__ can go take a flying leap.
Come and get it ... ahole
Soros is becoming like a James Bond villain. He's the hand behind everything - everything idiotic.
I got of them Mossberg 500 things in my bedroom closet too; and some 00 buck to go with it.
btw, How would you know ?
MOLON LABE
I want George Soros permanently deported from my country. I guess neither of us will be lucky enough to get what we want.
For someone who comes from a tyrannical state, he seems to place a lot of faith in the state's power to protect its people.
Make no mistake about it, I'd like to give him mine. One bullet at a time. :o)
Isn't George Soros getting $30 million of taxpayer money for his Marxist foundations?
Sickening.
Drat! I saw the headline and thought of posting exact same thing! Alas, you beat me to it. ;D
He's about 74 I think.
