Obama Rejects Gun Owning Whitehouse Applicants
01.02.09In yet another example of hostility towards lawful firearm owners, the Obama transition team is weeding out applicants for White House positions who own firearms themselves, or who come from firearm owning families.

If this is how he feels, then I’m sure he’ll be consistent and disarm his secret service bodyguards as well. Wait… no, that can’t be right.
“if this is how he feels, then I’m sure he’ll be consistent and disarm his secret service bodyguards as well.”
Just like how he thinks public schools are so great, yet sends his kids to a private school. This guy is such a douche bag it’s unbelievable.
Notice how the drones are real quiet after his election? Can you smell the “buyers remorse” in the air? Everyone knew he was anti-freedom, sleezy and a fake. Now that they are slowly starting to see how he is (mostly silent on important matters, see Blago and Hamas), they are scared crapless.
To hell with them all!

This what is referred to as “vetting,” and the Obama administration would be insane not to do it for people applying for executive branch jobs (the form as only being used for high-level appointees). The entire questionaire can be read here http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/13apply_questionnaire.pdf and as you can see, the firearm question is #59 of 63 questions, and it’s a way to screen out the Carl Rowans in the pool (i.e., calls for gun bans but illegally keeps HIS gun, then improperly uses it against dumb neighborhood kids skinny-dipping in his pool).
Obama is anti-gun, to be sure. But I am not, and I’d still ask that question if it was MY administration. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the administration is rejecting gun-owning applicants out of hand.
