Things that make you go Hmmmm

So the NRA has decided they don't want functional guns at their convention, despite the danger of an outlaw bad guy having a gun and shooting the place up.

So the NRA maintains records of their members, thus effectively making a list of people who own guns and are more likely to be politically active about it.

Hmmmmm

EDIT: functional firearms are forbidden on the arena floor where big events are taking place, outside of that only the dealers are required to neuter their guns.
However, they are still collecting names and making a list of known firearm users.
