Here's the latest NRA Poll. I'm curious how the liberals will respond.
Before anyone says it, I'll admit it, the poll is biased. Considering the
source, that's not a surprise. Regardless, let's see how people respond.
I've included my responses in this message:

DEFENDING YOUR RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF

1. Do you support NRA efforts to pass shall-issue right-to-carry laws in all
fifty states, so that law-abiding citizens have the right to protect
themselves against all violent predators, including criminal aliens? (Ten
states currently deny citizens this right). Choices are Yes, No, Don't Know.

My response: Yes

2. Do you support NRA efforts to pass a national reciprocity law, under
which a valid concealed carry permit issued in one state is valid in all
fifty states? Choices are Yes, No, Don't Know.

My response: Yes

3. Do you support NRA efforts to pass emergency powers laws in all 50
states, so that anti-gun politicians are prohibited from confiscating
firearms from law-abiding citizens in times of emergency? Choices are Yes,
No, Don't now

My response: Don't know. I thought there was a federal law that does the
same thing. If not, yes.

4. Do you support NRA efforts to pass "Castle Doctrine" laws that give
law-abiding citizens the right to defend their homes and families from
violent predators, foreign and domestic? Choices: Yes, No, Don't Know.

My response: Yes

DEFENDING OUR HOMELAND AGAINST CRIMINAL ALIENS

5. Do you believe Congress should pass crime legislation that sends the
message to criminals living outside the U.S. that if they attempt to break
into our country, they will do hard time? Choices: Yes, No, No Opinion.

My response: No. Any law that singles out individuals just because they come
from someplace else is a bad idea.

6. Federal prosecutors are handcuffed when it comes to prosecuting criminal
aliens because some of those criminal aliens can only be prosecuted in the
Federal District where they entered the country. Do you believe this law
should be changed so that criminal aliens may be tried, convicted and
sentenced in any U.S. jurisdiction. Choices: Yes, No, No Opinion.

My response: Yes

7. When known criminal aliens set foot on American soil, they are not
arrested; they are turned away at our borders. Should this policy of "catch
and release" remain in force, or should the law be changed so that criminal
aliens attempting to break and enter into our homeland are arrested, tried
and sentenced in the U.S. Choices Yes, No, No Opinion.

My response: No. They're not criminals here until they have committed a
crime here.  Keeping them out is good enough.

8. Some politicians want to give illegal aliens the right to obtain a
driver's license. In fact, this is already the law in one state. Do you
agree or disagree that illegal aliens should be permitted to obtain U.S.
driver's licenses. Choices: Agree, Disagree, No Opinion.

My response: Disagree. Illegal aliens should be deported as soon as
practical. They don't need U. S. driver's licenses in their country of
origin. The last thing we need to do is issue identification that makes them
look more legal than they actually are.

9. 25% of the population in Los Angeles County jails are criminal aliens -
many of whom have committed crimes with firearms. Yet they are simply
awaiting deportation, instead of being tried, convicted and sentenced for
their crimes.  After deportation, 60% of those criminal aliens end up back
in jail. Should NRA support the current law that requires deportation of
these criminal aliens, or fight for a new law that requires federal
prosecution and prison sentences for crimes committed against Americans.
Choices: Support the current deportation laws, Fight for new laws requiring
federal prosecution and sentencing, Don't Know.

My response: Fight for new laws requiring federal prosecution and
sentencing. Do the crime here, do the time here. Equal treatment for all.

10. How much should Congress authorize in funds for the U.S. Marshals
Service to track down and arrest all 595,000 criminal aliens who are
currently in this country, committing crimes against Americans like you?
Choices: Nothing, $100 Million, $100 Million, $250 Million, $500 Million, As
much as it takes, Not sure.

My response: Not sure. As much as it takes comes closest to my thoughts, but
tracking all of them down is pretty much impossible. On the other hand, the
U.S. Marshall's service isn't doing much else these days.

11. Do you agree or disagree that anyone who knowingly helps a criminal
alien obtain counterfeit or false documents should be guilty of a federal
felony and arrested? Choices Yes, No, Don't Know.

My response: Yes. Equal treatment for both the alien that gets the documents
and anyone that helps obtain them.

12. If NRA fights for a new law dealing with the problem of aliens who
commit crimes with firearms, which of the following scenarios would you
support for locking up those criminal aliens in a U.S. Prison? A foreign
criminal who: Choices: Yes, No, Don't Know for all.

Illegally enters the U.S.     My response: No. Send them back.
Re enters the U.S. after being deported.    My response: No. Send them back.

Commits a felony in the U.S.    My response: Yes

Smuggles human cargo.    My response: Yes

Deals in human trafficking, e.g. prostitution.    My response: Yes. Only
because it's a crime for someone here legally. I don't think prostitution
should be a crime.

Deals drugs or commits a drug related crime.    My response: Yes

Crosses into the U.S. to flee prosecution in his or her own country.  My
response: No. Send them back. Let their country pay for their punishment.

Commits any criminal act.    My response: Yes. Equal treatment under the
law.

Commits a crime with a firearm.    My response: Yes. Equal treatment under
the law.

13. Should NRA fight for a new federal law that prohibits cities from
designating themselves as "sanctuary cities" that shelter criminal aliens?
Choices: Yes, No, Don' t Know.

My response: No. Aiding a criminal is a crime in this country. Use existing
laws to handle the problem.

14. Some countries like Jamaica, Iran and El Salvador don't have deportation
treaties with the United States, which prohibits U.S. prosecutors from
deporting criminal aliens to these countries. Should NRA fight for a law
that provides for the deportation of criminals to these countries? Choices:
Yes, No, Don't Know.

My response: Yes. I think, it's yes. Those that enter the U.S. illegally,
should be sent back to where they came from unless they commit a crime here.
If they do, then deportation is not the answer, punishment consistent with
what those that are here legally get is the answer.

15. Will you help NRA fight for a comprehensive anti- crime bill that
defends our homeland from criminal aliens and gives law-abiding Americans
the power to defend themselves and their families?

My response: Yes. I recently sent funds to become an NRA Life Member. I
fully support the NRA's efforts to protect my rights, no matter who
jeopardizes them. I support strong laws and penalties, consistently applied
against all those who would use firearms to commit crimes just as much as I
support leaving the rights of those that do not commit crimes alone.
