I don't see how participation in this survey can be mandated. Don't participate or if you do just lie if you want to.
Anyone that does participate with this "survey" is a fool... as it only being used as a tool to find ways around the 2nd amendment, to restrict or deny you your rights!!
The trouble with that survey is that the only respondents will be the anti types. It's self fulfilling pollsterizing. It's a given that the supporters of "gun control" will dramatically tilt the results.
That is exactly what will happen, between the anti's and the ambivalence of the sheep there will be a survey that is garbage and of no real use. But this is just the slippery slope to get to the next level of invasion of privacy by the gov at all levels. They could also incorporate the survey questions into a required pre-purchase questionnaire that goes along with your background check... that is where things get ugly. Who is to say how they will use it against you...but they will. The doctors may determine that someone that: has more than X guns; kids in the house; or an intended use that they determine puts you at a "risk"- will not qualify to purchase because of the matrix they develop to control us...and our ownership.
You can bet, that the researchers will never come to Alaska, and ask their questions.... It would totally mess up the Agenda... the same for Utah, Wyoming and Montana..... ......
Guns? What guns? All my guns got stolen after someone got permit holder information from the sheriff via FOIA. Here are the fake police reports about it I created on my home computer. I can't help it if the LEOs can't find the data in their computers. They must of lost it during a recent computer upgrade...
