I realize that the subject is a bit redundant, but I received a fax at the office this morning that states:
National Gun Control Poll
We are conducting a nationwide poll on gun control.
We are faxing out over 3 million voting forms throughout the country.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MORE EFFECTIVE GUN CONTROL LAWS?
Your votes will be presented to the President, the Attorney General, Congress, HCI, the NRA, and the govenors of all 50 states of the Union.
_________________
I deleted a few things. They want you to fax the form back and check yes or no under the poll question. Its a 900 number that charges $2.95 per minute for your return fax. They also have a Web site at www.pollresults.co.uk where you can't vote via the net that I saw. The fax says that the poll was commissioned by 21st century fax Ltd. in NY, NY.
A few observations:
1. The polling question make me VERY angry. Its reminescint of "have you stopped beating your wife."
2. The entire thing might be one big 900 scam.
3. The scariest option IMHO, if this isn't a scam, and they are sending this to 3 million people, the VAST majority of them will respond, "why yes, I would like to see more effective gun control laws," and the antis will gain more steam.
Help me Mr. Wizard!
