I didn't read the 6th book yet... I'm so stubborn I wont read it until it comes out in paperback, lol. Am I supposed to know what RKBA stands for?

As a FReeper, you should know that RKBA is shorthand for Right to Keep and Bear Arms. And even if you're a cheapskate I'm sure you should be able to find a used copy of Order of the Phoneix (though I guess I'm not very good at counting, since I called it the sixth book--oh well) at a reasonable price.

Thanks for the update on RKBA. I'm not so sure where to find a Used copy of the book, but now that you mention it I'll keep my eye out.
I'm not sure how to find out if this woman is a conservative or not. I don't trust media reports on authors ever since I read several claiming that Lord of the Rings was meant by Tolkein to be Anti-war. That is the most blatantly false representation I have ever seen of an influential work. The trilogy is clearly meant to say that 1. We must fight evil, and 2. God is on our side. This is all not to mention that Tolkein was a hard-core Christian and Conservative.
Rowling's books have some similar themes, so my vague guess is that she has similar religious and political views.
