The following are verbatim excerpts from emails sent by the National Rifle Association.

SEPT. 26 Subject: Obama Signs U.N. Gun Ban Treaty. You know what this means. Now Obama and the U.N. are one BIG step closer to wiping out our Second Amendment freedom, our national sovereignty, and our American rule of law.....once and for all. Only you and I can stop Obama and the U.N., but we have to act NOW.

...

OCT. 29 Subject: He thinks he can buy your freedom New York City billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg is on an all-out mission to buy the U.S. Congress so that Barack Obama can ban your guns. And if you and I don’t take immediate action to stop him, he’ll get away with it. That’s why I’m asking you to sign this Voter Pledge the moment you get the chance. ... It is our job to make Bloomberg and his money TOXIC to every candidate running for office... and it all starts with your signed Voter Pledge TODAY

...

JAN. 16, 2014 Subject: A horrifying photo We Have To Stop This NOW. The scene above isn’t from a foreign country. It’s happening right here in America. Law-abiding citizens in Connecticut are being forced to line up and register their firearms with the government. How long do you think it will be before anti-gun politicians turn these REGISTERED firearms into BANNED and CONFISCATED firearms? If this can happen anywhere in America, it can happen EVERYWHERE.

...

JAN. 23 Subject: 3 Stories. 6 Lives. 4 Accidents. 1 Solution. What can you carry in your pocket that can be as powerful as your gun? Frankly, it’s a card with your name on it. And a phone number. A number that will mobilize your personal “Medical Team” to come to your aid, any time day or night, anywhere in the world if you’re traveling and suddenly land in the hospital. Thanks to the N.R.A.’s incredible influence and buying power, you now have access to ... 60 response centers around the world, over 1,500 air ambulances worldwide, medical teams responsible for continual monitoring of your health around the world if you should require medical attention. 40,000 N.R.A. MEMBERS TRUST EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PLUS.

The last one's my favorite. Like the others, it says "be afraid, send money", but makes me wonder what the average age of NRA members is.

Yep, sounds similar to what the nra goon squad said would happen if bill clinton got elected - kiss gun rights goodbye, confiscation of all firearms, people defenseless at the mercy of thugs.
It all happened didn't it? nobody has any guns anymore, I haven't seen any in weeks; all those defensive gun uses the rkba board is posting daily must all be fabricated since nobody has any guns anymore thanks to the confiscation & bans of bill clinton (who only banned assault rifles about 2% of total national gunstock, leaving 98% of guns alone).
