Regardless of the content, robo-calling sucks. The NRA needs to stop the s--t.

I'm sure you're right. We still shouldn't be using robo-callers. Regardless of the message, they do more harm than good. I wouldn't use robo-callers to sell Girl Scout cookies and I fucking love Samoas.

They are the worst offenders and are exempt from the laws concerning telemarketers
