New Block On ATF&E form
« on: March 12, 2013, 06:12:55 PM »
Bought a new gun yesterday.  On the form they have added a new block.  "Are you Hispanic"  Are you White Hispanic".  And you have to mark yes or no.  Then the block where I marked "White" no longer Caucasion.  The clerk said it was a new block about being or not being Hispanic.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

"White Hispanic"????  Hmmm sounds like the NBC doctored video and aftermath of Zimmerman defending himself against the aggressor Trevon Martin......

White Hispanic=inconveniently Hispanic Guy we wish were White, so the narrative would work...
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

I think all references to race or even gender, about anything should be eliminated.  Only reason for gender is some jobs can only be preformed by either a man or woman.  A person should be approved for a gun, job, or anything else based on their education or character.  This would make the playing field equal on anything.

I did one this past Sunday and thought what the heck is this for.
Just more government intrusion in someones life.
 
If you really want to piss them off, check the correct box and then out to the side write, "AMERICAN WITH BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO PROVE IT"
I did that once, and only once.
Didn't stop it from being approved but was told to only answere the questions and don't write any comments.
I thought it was funny at the time!
