When the National Rifle Association (NRA) sent out its latest legislative questionnaire, Reuven Carlyle had a choice response ready. Carlyle, a Democratic state senator from Seattle, received a list of questions Friday, used to determine how friendly lawmakers are to gun rights. If you choose not to return a questionnaire, you may be assigned a ? rating, which can be interpreted by our membership as indifference, if not outright hostility, toward Second Amendment-related issues, the NRAs email reads. |

Even if they fill out the questionnaire, the responses maybe false. Back in 2008 when Mark Begich was running for US Senator for Alaska, he was diagnosed with sudden onset of NRA Life membership after being a very anti-gun rights mayor of skAnchorage and violating state law twice in opposition to AK's Constitutional Carry.
Someone on his campaign was smart enough to give the "right answers" to the questionnaire and the NRA gave him an "A" rating without even looking at his past anti-gun record. Fortunately that little **** weasel was defeated after his first term due to his Obamacare vote hopefully he disappears into obscurity.......or an avalanche. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. Alexis de Tocqueville |
