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.
Pedophilia discrimination?
Again?
NAMBLA has been alerted!
What about ‘old’ gun buyers? They don’t care about us old guys?....................
I (heart) my .308. Needs to be a bumper sticker.
Check out the name of this real law firm.
And your girlfriend is a Real Doll.
There’s a place like that up by me. Gas, beer , wine, sandwiches, Glocks, berettas, etc. It’s a bit of a hike, but they have great prices and they know guns.

Thanks for the chuckle ping, dear Laz!
spend the weekend drinking?
These new requirements are onerous. Unfortunately, I haven’t hoarded enough money to replace the weapons I lost in that boating mishap on the river last year. :(
Who was the ‘wag’ that claimed being ‘bisexual’ doubled your chances for a date on Friday night?
‘Not that there is anything wrong with that’? <: <:” <:
Exactly right, you try to parody these people and they make it happen for real.
Gorgeous!
U. Gottabee Kiddin?
Allavit!
Sexual orientation: How about “Forceably celebate”?
For those of us whose wife ran off and don’t want to give her anything she can use at the divorce.
Oh, okay, Major Engrish...
LOL
Olive Allovitt (it took me a minute, LOL) should cheat on her rutabagas and explore a more spicy lifestyle-—turnips with hot sauce.
That's a country and western song in the makin', raht thar.
Hopalong Ginsberg would agree, I think...
The, er, AR15 is nice too.
There's an AR-15 in that picture?
While I don’t doubt the government will want this information, I do doubt that the ACLU would object to it. Aferall, if it takes guns away from law-abiding Americans, I’m sure the ACLU would be down with that.
On a more serious note, I am guessing that at some point people purchasing guns will have to submit to a buccal swab to have a sample of their DNA put into a national DNA database.
Seriously, that will happen by executive order if Hilary Clinton is elected president.
