Sigh. I wished I belonged to AARP just so I could cancel my membership and tell them why. :) Guess I’ll just have to return their membership requests and let them know just how I feel about their “representation” on my behalf.
I cancelled my wife's and mine during the early Clinton years when AARP came out with a series of TV and print media ads falsifying the facts about those terrible "assault weapons" supposedly designed specifically to kill thousands of innocent civilians as quickly as possible. I told them why, but of course that didn't put the slightest dent in their media campaign to popularize Clinton's so-called "assault weapon" ban.
The facts at that time were that much less than 1% of all murders in the US were committed with so-called "assault weapons", and almost all of those killings were among competing drug gangs. But AARP ads made it appear that thousands of women and children were being mowed down every year by eeeviil assault weapons, when in truth fully automatic "assault rifles", i.e., full-auto machine guns, were already illegal for civilians to possess except for those few registered to thoroughly investigated individuals who paid a heavy tax for the "privilege' of exercising their 2nd Amendment rights under the provisions of the 1935 Gun Control Act.
IOW, AARP is nothing more than one of the multiple heads on the socialist/Marxist Hydra that is slowly but surely squeezing the life and liberty out of the American people.
