Amnesty International demands more US gun control

Posted by David Hardy · 13 September 2018 07:09 PM

They claim a lack of 2A infringement is a violation of human rights. One of my good friends was the late Mark Benenson, Krag collector, NRA Lifer, and former president of Amnesty International's US branch. He told me how, when AI discovered he was a gun collector and NRA member, they tried to create a rival AI branch so they could affiliate with it and rid themselves of this terrible gun right supporter.

He also mentioned that AI had branched into attacking human slavery, and he had opposed it, on the grounds that there already were organizations doing that, they were experienced and doing a good job, and AI entering the field would simply drain away their funding support. AI went that way anyway. I wonder if this might not be a replay? "We're antigun, will you (major foundations, etc.) give us some cash?"

Since AI is speaking out against the US form of government, they should immediately lose all favorable status (charity, etc)...
