My thoughts too - it strikes me as doing a “soft registration” by answering in the affirmative...of course, most of us have already done such on various social media sites - and we know when we give the info for the FBI check to purchase handguns, those are all recorded instead of being disposed of like they claim - same for carry permits - there has to be records of that ... IOW, they know who most gun owners are.
