The stupid! It burns! I love that phrase so much, I’m going to keep using it until I burn a hole through the interweb thingy.

Americans mistakenly worried the United Nations is plotting to take away their guns on July 4 — U.S. Independence Day — are flooding the world body with angry letters and postcards, the chairman of a U.N. conference on the illegal small arms trade said on Wednesday.

“I myself have received over 100,000 letters from the U.S. public, criticizing me personally, saying, ‘You are having this conference on the 4th of July, you are not going to get our guns on that day,”‘ said Prasad Kariyawasam, Sri Lanka’s U.N. ambassador.

“That is a total misconception as far as we are concerned,” Kariyawasam told reporters ahead of the two-week meeting opening on Monday.

For one, July 4 is a holiday at U.N. headquarters and the world body’s staff will be watching a fireworks display from the U.N. lawn rather than attending any meetings, he said.

For another, the U.N. conference will look only at illegal arms and “does not in any way address legal possession,” a matter left to national governments to regulate rather than the United Nations, he added.

The campaign is largely the work of the U.S. National Rifle Association, whose executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, warns on an NRA Web site of a July 4 plot “to finalize a U.N. treaty that would strip all citizens of all nations of their right to self-protection.”

Ladies and gents, welcome to the second most powerful lobbying group in America (OK, maybe third. It depends on where you come down on AIPAC). That’s right, they are led by a complete crackpot who believes that the United Nations is going to create a treaty that is going to take away the guns of all people everywhere. Worldwide.

… by flying in on their black chariots with their magic anti-gun ray, firing at humans wherever they may hide, and taking their guns by dissolving them right there in front of the gun owners!!!!!1!11!!1 Will no one think of the children?!?
