Exclamation Obama's true colors

Sportsmen Wary of Obama Admin Hiring Questionnaire
11/19/08




The incoming Obama Administration appears to be throwing cold water on job applicants that own firearms. In a questionnaire for potential new employees, question 59 should send shivers up the spines of sportsmen.

Specifically, the question asks applicants: “Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."

The phrasing of this question raises legitimate concerns that individuals, including sportsmen, which want to seek a job with the new Administration, may not be welcome.

“If you want to assure sportsmen that you don’t want to take away their rights, the first thing you do should not be making it look like ‘Big Brother’ is getting ready to watch their every move. Unfortunately, that is exactly what this question implies,” says USSA Executive Vice President Rick Story.

“The new Administration should immediately clarify how answers to this question will factor into its hiring process,” Story said. “No one should be discriminated against because they avail themselves of their Second Amendment rights.”

The USSA and its allies, such as the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), will be monitoring the new Administration closely to see the direction it takes on numerous sportsmen’s issues.

Timba, believe me, obama doesn't care about discrimination towards anyone. shoot, he runs around with a self proclaimed terrorist. and his old pastor is a real treat. oh well, the nation voted him in. now we just have to hope and pray.
