NRA unloads on U.N.
Head of panel fighting illegal arms bombarded with form letters

Wednesday, June 21, 2006; Posted: 8:55 p.m. EDT (00:55 GMT)

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The chairman of an upcoming U.N. conference on the illegal trade of small arms has received more than 100,000 letters of complaint from Americans who say it could impinge on their constitutional right to bear arms, he said Wednesday.

Many of the letters contained a form message available on the National Rifle Association Web site that complains the June 26-July 7 conference will take place on the July 4 Independence Day holiday, U.N. officials said. The message argues that the conference is meant to limit Americans' right to carry weapons.

"And the American people will never let you take away the rights that our 4th of July holiday represents," says the form letter addressed to Prasad Kariyawasam, the conference chairman and U.N. ambassador from Sri Lanka. "Our freedoms are not to blame for the world's problems, and this is a battle you can never win."

In a news conference on Wednesday, Kariyawasam said he had received more than 100,000 of the letters. He noted that the conference would not meet on July 4 because the U.N. headquarters is closed for the holiday.

Well, the definiton would have to include NRA, republicans and freepers. I ask that you try your hand at it!

1. But, but 'illegal trading' of small arms is 'illegal'! Aren't these the
same folks that want to make 10 million people felons because they're 'illegal'?
