Enlisting an army

I have had some success on the local level using gun owners in discussing various issues, especially AI and data centers. When I have reminded people that the data centers are for-profit businesses that collate information about all of us, that includes gun owners. The profiles they create will be sold to entities that will create new pricing schedules such as insurance companies, employee information, health information, and who has guns, how many and what kind. Gun owners love to brag about their weapons online already.

Believe me - it gets a reaction right away. We can work on other stuff.
