I love the "leading" way these survey questions are worded.

Should gun buyers undergo a background check if they are purchasing from a gun show?

This implies that people buying guns at gun shows generally do not undergo background checks, which is of course nonsense.

Should gun buyers undergo a background check if they are purchasing on the internet?

This implies that people buying guns "on the internet" generally do not undergo background checks, which is of course nonsense.

Preliminary conclusion: This guy is not on our side.

Oh, and on the "About Mike" page:

In Congress, Mike has passed common sense legislation in a bipartisan fashion

That's code for, "I have no principles".

[KPShooting]

Yeah this survey is bullshit. I won't fill it out as he'll just use it support anti gun measures or he'll use the no answers as evidence that we support criminals and illegal guns.

"no private citizen should own any military-style weapons."




Fitzpatrick is no friend of gun owners!
The survey does nothing to support gun owners!

NRA rating:
PA-8
Endorsement: Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R): A
(But now I am not sure what this means anymore? Look at Casey and Toomey)

Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick's attempt to stem the tide in gun violence we have seen in recent years with the introduction of his bill, H.R. 329, the Strengthening Background Checks Act.


I would like to applaud our congressmen, Michael Fitzpatrick, for his stand on gun control. When I called his Washington office last week to ask if the congressmen has taken a stand on gun control, I was told by an office staffer that Congressmen Fitzpatrick believes "no private citizen should own any military-style weapons."

"Fitzpatrick and Meehan endorsed tougher background checks and left the door open to other ideas. "I am prepared to give a full and fair consideration to any reasonable piece of legislation," Fitzpatrick said in a release."

"Already, some in their ranks, including Reps. Peter King and Michael Grimm of New York and Michael Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, have spoken for action. The message needs to be sent from the nation's bedroom communities: A GOP under the control of the NRA is not an acceptable option for moms and dads who want their kids protected from violence."

The most obvious agendized survey I've ever seen.

Aimed specifically at the low info voter who knows nothing about how things work

Just sent him an email how ridiculous it is.
