The UN is talking about a global gun treaty again. This time they are keeping their deliberations secret so far, so no one can tell if they are still after US gunowners (I suppose the secrecy is an ominous hint though).
But the NRA is on their case:

Not sure if the UN fully understands that the NRA is bigger than they are. They might be in for a rude awakening. If the treaty offends the NRA I bet there will be about 90 senators voting against it.

BTW, Olympics time again. Time to show the world who’s boss. Opening ceremony is tonight.

And if it’s not too late, check out this week’s PBS Frontline. It’s about a drive to do away with the last very-large-scale salmon run in the world (it’s in Alaska), and replace it with the world’s largest strip mine.
(Well, according to the industry, the two are compatible, but they aren’t, really.)
