You'll have to pry my gullibility from my cold dead hands!

Man I have a lot of work to do today.

Get your facts straight.

So not funny at all (this thread, that is, elmo is spot on). We should get the NRA on that Northern Ireland crisis, where they've been taking guns away from thousands of Protestants and Catholics who only want to protect themselves.

Start homeschooling your children, make sure you have enough MRE's and iodine tabs to last a decade, fire up that welding torch and seal yourself into your underground shelter.

We will contact you via shortwave transmission when the world is safe for us again.

Other International Antigun Groups participating in the U.N.’s Conference on Small Arms:

While IANSA works with American gun-ban groups, most of the active international antigun NGOs are not from the U.S. and, with the possible exception of Amnesty International, are not well known in this country. They make up a frightening network of activists:

* Amnesty International
* BASIC (British American Security Information Council): Its main focus is on nuclear issues, but it has been active on the “small arms issue” for ten years.
* Bonn International Center for Conversation: a German disarmament think tank.
* GRIP (Groupe de recherche et d’information sur la paix et la sécurité), Brussels: One of the most active international antigun NGOs, it has produced numerous reports on firearms marking, tracing, and brokering.
* ISS (Institute for Security Studies): a South African think tank.
* OXFAM: a U.K.-based peace and disarmament NGO.
* Ploughshares: a major Canadian “peace” NGO, extremely active in the small arms issue from the very start.
* Saferworld: major U.K. peace organization.
* SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute), Sweden: also active in the small arms issue for almost ten years.

OH NOES! OXFAM IS COMING FOR US!

gullbility aside, this thing is hilarious as just a stunt to get folks to either buy their shitty book or join the NRA(book comes free, then).

You have to be completely uncritical to buy this bullshit. Is there anything to it? I don't know, but I don't trust anybody who withholds information, whether its because there is none or, worse, they're more interested in manipulation than education.

Cap'n obvious rests.

Ken Roberts has seen plenty of graffiti, but a spray-painted message that appeared on a Boone County government building during the weekend still has him scratching his head.

"It’s not your basic vandals; it’s actually a conspiracy movement," said Roberts, who heads the county’s facilities maintenance department.

In neatly scrawled red paint, the graffiti artist sometime over the weekend wrote, "problem reaction solution… get it yet?" on a shed near the Boone County Johnson Building. A small stencil sketch of what appears to be a Continental soldier is next to the message.

Roberts didn’t know what to think when he first saw the graffiti yesterday. Later, inspired by crime scene investigation TV shows and "The Da Vinci Code," Roberts researched the message using Internet searches and was bowled over by what he found. According to various Web sites, the graffiti traces back to a government conspiracy theory. The idea is that when the government wants to do something, such as start a war or pass a law, officials create a problem that causes the public to demand a war or a law.

The writing was much different than other messages that have appeared on county buildings through the years.

"Sometimes we get the basic ‘f-- you cops’ graffiti," said Roberts. "But nothing of the political nature or of the educated nature."

Learning the graffiti was connected to a conspiracy theory made Roberts worry that it might be a prelude to a larger, possibly violent, plot against government buildings in Boone County.
