At first glance, it would appear that the FBI's use of National Security Letters to obtain information about citizens has no relationship to gun rights groups.
However, I request that you read the following article titled "My National Security Letter Gag Order" from the Washington Post: http://tinyurl.com/3bvdtd
What group of citizens would the government consider to be the biggest threat to Federal hegemony? I would like to suggest that people like US might someday be considered biggest threat, because the government knows that people who openly carry their firearms are by nature free- thinkers and not easily intimidated (exactly the kind of people whowould say NO to power grabs by the government).
Would you like to be able to discuss gun rights activism on internet forums without worrying about the alphabet agencies spying on you? Mike Stollenwerk could be forced to turn over information about you and then lie about it under threat of criminal prosecution.Or, how about the FBI mining your local gun dealers for 4473 forms? You would never find about that either because the gun dealer would go to jail for even talking about it!
This is an issue that cuts against EVERYONE: Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, liberals, libertarians.
Feel free to contact your your congressperson to let him/her know that you prefer U.S. freedom rather than the old East Germany / Soviet Union "freedoms". Here's where you can go to look your congressperson's contact information:
