stickmakerA personal anecdote in follow-up to a previous post.
I got a call from a pro-gun control organization a few years back. Wanting my voice as a pro-firearms person to be heard, I agreed to take the poll.
I literally could not answer the first question. It was an oxymoron, and could not be answered honestly by anyone, not just gun-rights supporters.
When I pointed this out, the woman hung up on me. I have never been contacted again by one of these groups.
