New Gun Buyers Are Being Asked To Declare Sexual Orientation and Plans For The Weekend
Original Content | 9/22/2014 | Laz A. Mataz

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:

Once orientation is selected, the buyer is required to fill in a box that states their specific evening plans for the weekend that immediately follows the purchase.

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.

You really do excellent satire, Laz. You can do more of that anytime.

Good grief, what’s next, Quick, Rideout and Killem? Maybe it should be Killem, Quick and Rideout. Then again maybe Rideout, Killem and Quick or Rideout, Quick and Killem.

I see there’s no box for Shrodinger’s Orientation, where as long as the person’s fly is closed, you don’t know his/her orientation.
