Last month I purchased 1200 rounds of ammo from black hills. To make a long story short - I received a call a little more than two hours ago from the DNC of SD asking if I am a regular purchaser of firearms and ammo... just a coincidence?? I don't know what to think - I have been in Timmy Johnson's office multiple times giving his employees all sorts of discomfort as well as Kristi Noem's and John Thune's.

Black Hills maybe telling politicians who is buying bulk ammo?? Hard to say.
I have nothing to hide just curious what others think if they care to opine.

1) What is the DNC of SD?
2) Have you talked to Black Hills?

Were they asking about a specific event or just in general?  Could be doing a survey of sorts.  Not enough details and to much assumption.

I think DNC is Democratic National Convention

The call started out as your typical robocall with all the current political B.S. Then some guy asked if I cared to take short survey. Of course I said yes, I like mess'n with politician's minions. They asked some short questions on gun control issues like - how many hand guns I owned, if own firearms for self defense, do I stockpile ammo and so on and so forth.

I just thought it was curious after just purchasing some bulk ammo last month. With homeland security buying billions of rounds and all. And with black hills most likely being a supplier and all... possibly hedging their bets?? or just coincidence who knows... nothing surprises me anymore.

I highly doubt black hills is talking to the DNC.  However the DNC may very well be profiling and trying to create lists of gun owners.

If you use caller ID and an answering machine, you'd never have talk to the DNC.

NOBODY needs to know if, how many, or what kind of firearms you own.
NOBODY needs to know how much ammo you have or where you keep it, or how many different calibers you have.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW THAT INFORMATION, ARE THE ONES WHO WANT TO TAKE THEM.
