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 NRA’s 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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
