got a call from N.R.A. today.

A poll question, if I thought that the Second Amendment needed to be strengthened. I said it needed to go the way of the Prohibition Amendment.
Call ended with a Thank you.


About a month ago, I got a call about my thoughts on "American hero, Lt. Colonel Oliver North." I said he needed to be in jail for treason.
Call ended with a Thank you.


I wonder where they got my phone number.

as NRA spammers, though, of course, I didn't answer.


That's how I knew they were in big $$$ trouble. The calls increased to nearly every day, even after I blocked many of the #s.

some of our calls. I use them to work out my frustrations with Trump. And she does, too.

We have to be on every police beneficial scam there is, too. I enjoy talking to them. My goal is to keep them on line as long as I can.

A couple of times when I was in the mood to have some fun, I tried to answer but their autodialer wasn’t ready for me.

I’m going to keep your answers handy. Those are excellent!

I haven’t been an NRA member for 20 years. Before Christmas they were constantly calling. I finally decided to answer one of the calls. The nice lady asked, since I was such a loyal member, would I be willing to donate $140 bucks and in return receive an American flag signed by Wayne LaPierre. I told her that she seemed like a nice lady, but that it would be a cold day in hell before Mr. La Pierre would get one penny from me. Then I told her to stick that flag up his ass next time she saw him! Click....
They are still calling.....must be getting desperate for cash.

Youngest child, lay him out on a rock and proceed to cut his/throat, and remind themselves that the sacrifice is for the 2nd Amendment, and that throat slitting would be less painful than getting shot with an AR.
