GUNS ARE US
Ever wonder why the NRA wants to fight firearms restrictions in its home country as well as abroad?
Too much money to be made selling guns to idiots.
“The Obama administration’s feebleness in the face of the American gun lobby will result in 2,000 lives lost each day… but (it) still has time to turn election year adversity around by courageously supporting a strong Arms Trade Treaty outcome during the U.N. General Assembly meetings in October,” said Kathi Austin, executive director of the Conflict Awareness Project and former U.N. arms investigator.
Fat chance, that's a month before the election.
