I received a “Gun Owner’s Action Survey” from the NRA. They, of course, don’t care about my opinions. It’s a fundraising piece and part of a membership drive, as betrayed by the final question, “Will you fight for your freedom by joining NRA today?” But the survey’s ridiculously slanted questions gave me good laugh. Here are two of them:

• “Should Congress and the states eliminate so-called ‘gun free zones’ and leave innocent citizens defenseless against terrorists and violent criminals?”
• “Do you oppose any United Nations treaty that strips the US of its sovereignty and gives UN diplomats the power to regulate every rifle, pistol, and shotgun you own?” (There are gullible people who think President Obama actually advocated this. I feel sorry for them.)

Of course, anti-gun groups play the same survey game. I can envision questions like this:

• “Do you oppose letting mentally disturbed people, dressed in camo and wearing bullet-proof vests, carry sniper rifles and high-capacity machine guns into daycare centers, grade school music recitals, and church prayer meetings?”
• “Do you oppose NRA-backed ‘stand your ground’ laws which make it perfectly legal for somebody to blow your head off if they feel offended by something you say?”
