Sure I buy ammo. What’s that got to do with it? There’s no background check on buying ammo. The only posting I do is here on FR. I’m here anonymously btw. You can’t link my screen name directly to me or to any email address with my real name connected to it in any way.
We already know that they illegally keep copies of NICS records despite having been told time after time by judges not to do it and to destroy all records. And we know that BATF agents will illegally go to FFL holders and make copies of all their Form 4473’s for no lelgitimate reason at all.
Do you REALLY believe the government isn’t using other illegal means to collect info on gun owners such as CC mining and internet data mining? Right now, JimRob can look up the URL you are posting from and tell exactly where you are. After that, is it really that difficult to know who lives at you address?
7:1 ratio here! 4 SIGs, 2 ARs, 1 Savage 30-06 and just lil' ol me.
Dues go for the association activities. Political activities are only done with extra donations to the NRA-ILA, the institute for legislative action.
The NRA wasn’t a lobbying group until after 1968. I might as well blame the Gun Owners of America for the machine gun taxation of 1934 for the sense you try to make.
The NRA doesn’t manufacture congressional or senatorial votes. When you’re going to lose a lot, it’s best to lose by only a little.
And guys like you are the reason we lose. If we had eighty million NRA members, we wouldn’t have gun control.
The present day CCW laws were started by Marion Hammer in Florida and continued with the NRA for the other states.
The GOA as usual is AWOL.
That’s 3,999,999 plus me :)
Is this proven fact or speculation/assumption ?
I’ve always thought they could do it of course.
I realize that. But that is a slightly more difficult procedure to find firearm posters and track their URL. Also, untill recently, I only used “borrowed” wireless connections. I’m not squeeky clean, but I was once.
If I did it, there are many others that still are.
Btw, last time I had someone check for me, looking up my URL netted a city that was 80 miles away from me. This was 10 years ago and I’m sure things are different now. But my point is they don’t have it locked down just yet.
The NICS accusations and the BATF agents copying Form 4473’s are a fact. I wouldn’t doubt the other two.
