People who purchase new guns are being forced to disclose sexual orientation and specific, detailed plans for the upcoming weeked, in the latest amendment to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (BATFE) agency's Form 4473 that was issued as of September 1, 2014.
Gun retailers said that the buyer may select one of the 12 sexual orientation options, and that failure to select an option was considered a violation, and very tacky as well. The options, copied verbatim from the form, are as follows:
Buyers and gun-retailers say they’re concerned about how the information will be used. “This issue concerns me deeply because, first, it’s offensive, and, secondly, I'm not even sure what to put on the form,” said Olive Allovitt, who is a lawyer who specializes in firearms law. "I saw lots of options, but I don't see any selection for we who prefer to love rutabagas and other vegetables. I don't think the "Inanimate-Object Attracted" option quite describes us."
The BATFE said the form change was required because agents are finding themselves unable to match up to a given buyer for a 'good time'. “The OMB requires agencies to ask both sexuality and plans for the weekend, in a specific manner (as done on [Form 4473]), and this information is only used to secure qualified officers dates, overnights, and other favors,” ATF spokesperson Horn E. Gooser said in an emailed response to the news site.
U. Gottabee Kiddin, the American Civil Liberties Union director, says the OMB guideline is overreachinig and intrusive. “There is nothing [in BATFE or OMB’s website links addressing the sexual orientation and availability data-collection] that supports the requirement that BATFE agents be relaxed and free of stress," Kiddin said. "This is clearly an attempt to give agents a chance to hit that," she added.
No more guns for Laz...
Laz, why are you giving them ideas???
You think this is so absurd they won’t implement it? Well, you’re wrong.
Every time I think of something so absurd they would never make it reality, I get mugged by reality sooner or later by finding out they really did do it!
As long as I keep getting mugged by reality it’ll keep motivating me to be conservative.
EAT MY DUST, SEMMENS!!!

Gadzooks, this sarcasm is becoming extremely hard to distinguish from a CNBC news broadcast.
Better watch out, Rachet ManCow will be endorsing this.
T’is satire. Not sarcasm. :)
A guy a mile or so from here just opened a combination liquor store and gun shop. They also sell cigarettes so that makes them a real ATF. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms.
There is an old joke that ATF should be a convenience store...this guy has carried it out :-)
It’s just different when you live way out in the country...
Thank you for posting this - I was feeling so alone, but now I know there are other vegi-sexuals out there. And gun-owners to boot!
I just love my government (and my rutabegas, too).
Sounds like a federally run dating service.
I believe gun buyers should all be
“inanimate object attached”
His store sign could read:
Bureaus, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
I’m a robosexual.
You forgot “explosives”. Of course, there is the fourth drawer in you picture that you forgot to label,
so all is well.
"We urge gun dealers to provide on-line links to facilitate genital-appropriate hookups....... as a means to enhance gender equality, a chief goal of the Obama Admin."
He is now known as Ewe Gotta bin Mine.
No explosives?
The only explosions are mattress-related. Bow-chicka-wah-wah!
