WHO WROTE THIS POLL, AN 8 YEAR OLD?

Nope. Like I said, someone is just building a database of pro-gun peoples' email addresses. Nobody gives a rat's ass about the poll "results".

At best (and this is probably the worst of it) that database will be sold to gun rights organizations for membership drives and donation pitches. Come election time, some conservative politicians will probably buy the list, too. So whoever put the list together makes a little money and conservatives can contact some possible supporters - not such a bad thing, I guess.

But the way things are going, there's a possibility that lists like this may be used in the future by jack-booted government thugs to confiscate firearms, or to round up reactionaries like us for "re-education".

This has happened in many other countries and different times, and in my opinion it's no longer so "impossible" in America. Democracy is a fragile thing - and it seems to me like the U.S. is moving AWAY from it now at full speed.
