Gun Owners Not Welcome on Obama's White House Team?

(CNSNews.com) – President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team is showing its hostility toward lawful firearm owners by “weeding out” job applicants who own firearms themselves, a Second Amendment group says.

The Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) notes that question 59 – part of a 63-item questionnaire given to Obama administration job applicants – asks for information about firearms owned by the applicant and his or her family.

Found in the questionnaire’s “Miscellaneous” section, question 59 reads, “Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage.”

Excuse me Chosen One, didn’t Hitler make disarming the public one of his first missions, and then he rounded millions of them up and killed them? Zero is such a Captain Obvious. Geez the guy just can’t contain his zeal for destroying the foundations of this country. The libtards finally got a real Marxist. Hey, anyone have any opinions on the New Model Ruger Super Blackhawk S-458N? Too much recoil for a woman to fire? It takes .44 Rem Mags and has the 4 5/8 inch barrel.

Firearm choice is a rather personal thing, I look for quality,, to me it’s more a matter of getting the job done reliably rather than doing it in the most spectacular way... If you need that amount of power (bears or other LARGE animals) then by all means get that or a model 29/629 ... for me a .38 snubby or compact pistol in .380 or 9mm is A-Ok , especially as compact means you have it on you and available more often.

Good. They’re likely to be unarmed and thus, in dangerous situations, unable to defend themselves.

All theoretical etc.

I’ve been an NRA member since I got out of the Army. My

grandfather sent two rifles and some ammo to England in

1940 to help counter the thought to be German invasion of

England.

You’re right, we have to pull together.

Full-house 44Mags might be a bit much for extended sessions (but some Pachmeyer or Hogue grips to absorb some of the recoil shock may help).

If you reload, you could moderate the recoil with a lighter bullet (like a 200-grain Rainier) and a lighter powder load.

And 44 Specials in that particular firearm would do very nicely for practice and most practical applications.

I highly recommend John Taffin's Book of the .44 (www.sixguns.com), as well as his many articles on the "Perfect Packin' Gun". Also "Sixguns" by Elmer Keith.

How come my search etc.

Narrow searches to one or two words, but more than three letters.

When you’ve got security guards, you don’t have to carry guns.
