" The good people at Amnesty International would like you to know that the National Rifle Association \u2014 and its nutbag spokesman, Wayne LaPierre \u2014 are pretty much chockful o&amp;#039;bullshit when it comes to their actual agenda, which is not to preserve our precious Second Amendment freedoms, or to protect Uncle Fud&amp;#039;s ability to hand down an arsenal to his children and grandchildren free of pesky inquiries as to whether or not one of the grandchildren might be a cannibal murderer in training. The actual agenda is to make sure the people who are willing to pay nutbags over $1 million a year can make as much money as they possibly can selling guns to whoever comes in whatever door. Children \u2014 no matter where they live \u2014 must be kept safe from gun violence. The United Nations is preparing to finalize a treaty that would help to do just that by helping to stem the flow of weapons to human rights abusers. The National Rifle Association (NRA) is standing in the way of these efforts by waging a campaign of misinformation and lies force the U.S. government to oppose the treaty. Around the globe, over a billion children live in countries impacted by armed conflict that is fueled by small arms and conventional weapons. These children are at grave risk of being abducted and trafficked... To watch LaPierre on Teh Sunday Showz, talking about how that rich moneybags (neworkjewnewyorkjew) Michael Bloomberg is bringing his rich person&amp;#039;s money to Main Street USA to buy all your freedom, and probably lend it back to you at exorbitant rates, because we all know how they are, is to see true evil-for-profit. While he&amp;#039;s out there talking about how he&amp;#039;s really in it to make sure that we enforce the gun laws we have in place now \u2014 pathetic, though they are \u2014 he&amp;#039;s spinning paranoid fantasies to the rubes in order to kill a measure aimed at making sure children in Africa aren&amp;#039;t made into murderous fanatics toting the weapons that pay LaPierre&amp;#039;s salary. More guns in more places in more hands for more money. That&amp;#039;s all he&amp;#039;s about. That&amp;#039;s all he&amp;#039;s ever been about. Trafficking in arms? We should make a better effort in this country to stem the flow of the deadly nonsense in our politics around the world. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
