It really isn't all that different, in my mind, from spying on the Soviets. I'm all for getting inside info about groups who want to undo the American way of life. On the other hand, there's still really no solid proof that the NRA is behind Mary's actions. We've all been assuming it is and agreeing it is OK, but from what I've read the evidence is only circumstantial. But you are right that this is A) nothing new, and B) the same tactics they have/will use. “Would it be wrong to try to gain insider knowledge on a group of people who were…”

True, Remember we are in an enviable position. They are the ones who have to explain away our rights. We hold the high ground.
