They are just trying to make money on the fact that people are trying to take our guns. All scare tactics to strum up donations and membership.
Yeah, this particular spook story may not have come from the NRA but I've gotten dozens just like it from them. And all of them just as totally full of BS as this one.
The NRA started out as a good organization. Then sadly like most social activist organizations they discovered how much money they could fatten themselves on by amping up the scare tactics to squeeze more money out of the gullible and the paranoid insane.
I know there are people and organizations out there that would like to ban guns. But none of them are even close to being able to. And it's truly sad that the major organization that used to protect our gun ownership rights has deteriorated into an organization that has totally sacrificed it's credibility by constantly floating any baseless yet scary rumor just to get John Q Citizen to cut them another check.
