I got mine in the mail the other day.
Six of ten questions mention Barack Obama, one mentions Charles Schumer, and none mention John McCain.
Here’s the last question, the only one that asks a general question:
Would you knowingly vote for any candidate who supports any portion of the gun-ban lobby’s anti-Second Amendment agenda?
The possible responses are:
- I would never knowingly vote for a gun-ban candidate.
- I might vote for a gun-ban candidate
- I’m not sure
What they really need there is a 4th option: “I’d never knowingly vote for a gun-ban candidate unless he was only concerned with eliminating the private sales of firearms between citizens. That’s the only way this survey could honestly come out as showing NRA members are pro-McCain instead of just anti-Obama. Given their original 3 choices, and knowing how NRA folks feel, the responses to question #10 would totally eliminate John McCain as a choice for president.
Every time I open up my mail from the NRA, NRA-ILA, or NRA-PVF, I get the feeling that they think we’re all a bunch of knuckle dragging morons. Do they honestly think that we don’t know of John McCain’s feelings on the “gun show loophole?” Hell, he mentioned in his speech at the NRA convention this year. It’s not exactly a secret he’s trying to keep from us.
Why don’t they ask us how we feel about that particular issue? You can then send the results back to the McCain camp and let him know that he needs to fix this to get the NRA behind him 100% in this election. What’s wrong with that?
