This isn’t the first time the administration’s position on guns and its position on what it portrays as “civil rights” have directly conflicted.

I'm sure it won't be the last, either; conversely, I have to wonder how realistic it is to expect consistency from the feral government. It wants what it wants, and it wants it right now, and if it doesn't get it, it's going to have a temper tantrum.

In full seriousness: I believe the feral government has declared its independence from us, the people.

It’s beating a dead horse to say so, but this country has gone stark staring mad. Why in the name of common sense would anyone expect employers to hire people with criminal records to deal with their money? If this impacts any group disparately, then the solution is for that group to get their act together. But no, not in the United States of Affirmative Action. Instead employers are expected to take the risks upon themselves and hire felons to handle their money, and thereby risk their business, and the jobs of the honest employees.

A patently logical argument.

Universal background checks may lead to few "certain people" obtaining firearms.

Hmmmm.....I may to have re-think my opposition to background checks.

Just kidding!

Based on the fact that almost all DoD and DoE jobs require background checks, ask a Federal Judge to dismiss the case as baseless.

They accused banks of discrimination because they performed credit checks on anyone applying for a loan and minorities were more likely to have bad credit. Forcing banks to give loans to people that were not creditworthy contributed to the housing bubble.

Guess no one bothered suggesting to black males not to commit crimes.

"You just have to love Emily Miller."

We absolutely must love Emily Miller. FYI, Free Republic's loveable Enterprise raised the same issue on June 22nd:

"I want the liberals to answer this question then. If background checks for purchases of guns and concealed weapons permits are run on blacks, is that also discriminatory?"

I see a problem in that it’s not illegal to work if you are a felon.

It is illegal to purchase a firearm

"“Businesses are fighting the charge that not wanting ex-cons on the payroll is illegal discrimination,” Miller writes. “The agency claims that the companies disproportionately screened out black Americans when they fired or did not hire those with criminal records.”"

Blacks commit the majority of crimes and are jailed for it but then don't want the consequences. Tough.

Its opposition to requiring government-issued photo identification to vote on the grounds that it disenfranchises minorities from exercising their rights, if true, must also apply to requiring a photo ID to purchase a gun.

How about "drive a car"? The states have been forced to add biometric information to their drivers licenses and are well on their way to a standardized format complete with RF-ID readout. Sounds like just the thing for voter ID to me...

Ihre papiere bitte...

I’m just the messenger....I certainly don’t have all the answers to your suggestions/questions. That’s why I haven’t responded to each post individually. Just want you all to know I’m not posting and running.....LOL
