April Fool Heart Attack

Saeed -

Dear sir, my family physician probably needs to make a fee-splitting arrangement with you. I almost had a for-real heart attack when I read the questionnaire re BATF/militia/number of guns/ etc. at the top of AR when I turned it on a few minutes ago!!

As it is still March 31, here for another 6 hours, it took me at least 10 minutes to realize it is an April Fool's joke. During that time, I began considering an immediate move back to Canada, de-registering from AR, and a bunch of other stuff.

You got me last year, too, but nothing like this year's little psyche twister.

Well, anyway, one can't say AR membership is dull.....

Best wishes,

AC

My wife was sitting in the room with me when I logged on and the message came up. She came over and looked at it, and said "you better log off!" I told her I was sure it was just April Fool, but it sure fooled her!

I was about ready to say goodbye and good luck to all my friends in AR and to withdraw my membership when I realized that Saaed is one of the greatest April Fool's jokers of all times and sure enough....APRIL FOOLS!

This time I remembered it, last year I did not.
Good job Don and Saeed

Well to be honest I wasn't sure one way or the other, but I did submit the email and the answers I gave were certainly not what they would like!

I didn't know what to think. I didn't put it past our government to label this site a militia site and try to get our info for a watch list. But then when I got to guns and the serial numbers ect.. , I knew something was up.

Ya got me for a few minutes there.

You all got me for a bit. I was ready to forward this to my Senators, Congressman and the NRA and kick up some dust. Good one!!!! It is sad that due to the political climate something like this is not completely out of the realm of possibility. Good One!!

Basically, I was HAD! Good one Saeed! I actually went looking through the ATF site, trying to find the regulation. After the raid in Michigan on the militia, I actually thought this was totally ligite.
