I signed up for it and immediately got an email telling me that ammo availability in my area was critical. (No surprise there.) If I got one that ammo availability was improving, I'd probably drop by Walmart or Academy as soon as possible, expecting to find some.

Scam by MaoBama to find out who has guns! :shock:
Not only mining zip codes but likely IP's as well. :mad5

They are taking advantage of inexperience of the average internet user. :eek6

I agree with AEA, looks like a data mining enterprise. And/or just a way to promote and sell their books. I signed up and opted out with the first e-mail. It didn't appear to be anything of value to me. Your mileage may vary...

This is the poster child for the throw-away email account (hotmail) as a test to see if the signal to noise ratio is decent....
