    Kind of rubs me the wrong way. I don't think that would be a legitimate question determining employment for any other business in this nation. In fact, I think it would be quickly challenged by the ACLU. I think it is none of Obama's business and certainly should not be a "condition" to him.

    Just not right.

    Very bad. One more shameful thing on his list.

    The Obama Administration is using this as a litmus test to get people in the administration who are hostile to the Second Amendment.

    I seem to remember liberals screamed and whined about possible "litmus tests" against abortion used by both Bush Administrations. Conversely, liberals are never afraid when their side threatens rights guaranteed in the Constitution...the right to free political speech, as well as the right to keep and bear arms.

    I find a lot of irony in the way barry is vetting the appointees, much more thorough then he withstood.

    Basically, he is assimilating an anti-freedom crowd. Kiss the 2nd Amendment goodbye.

    I heard that too, I find it very odd...really.

    I believe the quesiton is does anyone in your family own a gun...that seems like a none of your business kind of question.

    I honestly believe he wants to take all our guns like Hitler did with the germans, we are in for it.

    I hope someone responds with the words

    'None of your _ _ _ _ business'

    and they don't get the job because of if.... That should stir the pot!

    If you are truly a "law-abiding gun owner," you have nothing to worry about.

    He has every right to ask what he wants.

    When you see some of the other questions on the survey, you won't think twice about this one.
