RE: NRA Mailed me this today
The United States Constitution doesNOT take a back seat to treaties. Plain and simple. State Constitutions may or may not, but since the U.S. Constitutionis controlling, I tend the think the sky is not falling.
I've been a member of the NRA for several years and probably always will be, but I can't say that I'm enthusiastic about it. I don't like being treated like an idiot and with some of the crap they send me in the mail, I think that's exactly what they think of us sometimes. The Safari Club Int'l, another organization that fights for our gun rights, apparently knows I'm a grown, college educated adult. |

http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1995/vol11no07_treaties.htm http://www.freedompage.home.mindspring.com/ConstitutionJR.htm I really haven't researched the issue, and perhaps I've been overly influenced by the "fear of black helicopters" brigade. But, the sites above point to some decisions that, they say, affirmed treaties which violated Constitutional rights. Article VI of the Constitution does make treaties a part of "the supreme law of the land". |
RE: NRA Mailed me this today
Well, I just joined the NRA. I couldn’t afford anything but the cheapest membership, but I want to do what I can. Anyway, I just graduated and without a doubt the constitution takes precedence over treaties. If the treaty doesn’t align with the constitution blatantly, it doesn’t fly at all. Also, many of these treaties have exceptions and clarifications to be brought forthwith. SO, yes we should be aware and on the cusp of these things along with doing what we can, but dont live in fear keeping yopurself from enjoying life and our great sport . Live in confidence and exude assureadness of decision. EJ

I have been a Life Member of the NRA for many years, and I also get a little tired of their incessant mailings requesting donations. I probably receive 3 to 4 requests per month, and donate a set amount every year. They are, however, the strongest pro-gun forces in this country,and spend a lot of time and money lobbying our causes in Washington. They NEED our support to carry on their and our programs. To be a gun owner in this country and not belong to the NRA is absurd, in my opinion. You may not agree with ALL they say or do, but without their efforts, gun ownership and all the sports that go with it may not exist as we know them today. If they are not continued to be supported, don't look around some day and wonder why you can't have your 30-06 or your Glock any longer.
Get off your dead a**, get your wallet out, and become a member, for God's sake !! Quit letting the rest of us pull your weight through this. Take some responsibility to support the main organization who is trying to protect YOUR rights to enjoy your sport. Or, maybe you'd care to move to Australia, Europe, or even Canada where the NRA doesn't exist. Try owning rifles, shotguns, and in particular, handguns in those places. It's time to quit your d*** whining and step up to the plate. |

RE: NRA Mailed me this today
anyone who thinks international treaties preempt the united states constitution is a fool. i have a b.a. in law and society and am i law school. the repulsion of the second amendment (by only another amendment to our consititution) will never ever happen. never. relax and stop only getting your news through nra publications. i read this article and started laughing at how stupid some of you are....

RE: NRA Mailed me this today
I've actually had people tell me that UN troops will come to my door and confiscate my guns.
Does anyone actually think this is going to happen? This is how inteligent the NRA thinks we are.....It's time we think a bit instead of being led around by a chain in our nose. |
