Well yes it is apples to oranges and that was kind of my point. But if the NRA is making and keeping a running list of all gun owners whether they're a NRA member or not that's a whole other animal. Just because they're on our side doesn't make it any less intrusive. (Playing Devils advocate) It is my choice to be a member and let my info be known to them but if I was not a member and found out (as the article states) they had what firearms classes I have been to, what weapons I owned etc... I don't know if I'd be too hip to being on that list. The ends dont always justify because we really don't know who has access to the data (if it in fact exists).
How on earth would NRA know who a gunowner is, unless that person joined NRA? Just sayin'......
It's a myth. Example: you never buy a gun, but you inherit one from your cousin Mickey's uncle Joe who died, and left you the old pepperbox pistol inherited from his great grandfather.
Does NRA know about you? I don't think so.
No. But WalMart and most every other retail outlet tracks when you buy Twinkies (and everything else) if you pay with plastic. Just wait 'til Michelle Obama's anti-obesity group finds out they can get a list of potential obese citizens to target.
