The NRA is going halfsies with the ACLU on a lawsuit against the NSA. How's that for a lotta acronyms in one sentence? The NSA phone spy program keeps a record of every phone call placed all over the world. It only records which number called which other number, it doesn't record the contents of the call, just the information that appears on your phone bill. But that's enough to cause a lot of trouble. NSA could track down every NRA member. This would make a good start on a national gun registry since most gun owners are members. From a registry they could move on to confiscation of guns. Anyhow, the ACLU has it's own problems with NSA telephone surveillance. For that matter I have some problems with NSA telephone surveillance.
