SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):

In yet another example of hostility towards lawful firearm owners, the Obama transition team is weeding out applicants for White House positions who own firearms themselves, or who come from firearm-owning families.

Evidence of the Obama team's distaste for firearm owners may be found as Question 59 of a 63 item questionnaire administered by Obama staffers to all potential applicants for positions in the Obama White House. The question asks for sensitive information about firearms owned by the applicant and his/her family.

"Question 59 provides clear insight into how Obama and his people perceive firearm owners," said ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson. The questionnaire poses a number of questions asking the applicant to reveal any unethical activities, or embarrassing Internet chats, then wraps up by asking if anyone in the applicant's family owns a firearm. Obviously, Obama feels that owning a firearm is akin to talking dirty in Internet chat rooms. But that should come as no surprise as, while an Illinois State Senator, Obama voted for SB1195 - a provision of which called for gun owners to be registered in the same manner as sex offenders."

"Once again, we have to ask ourselves just what candidate Obama was talking about when he said he has 'respect' for the 2nd Amendment," commented Pearson. "If this latest assault on gun owners is considered a gesture of respect, then either Obama or myself is very confused."

The ISRA is the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership. Founded in 1903, the ISRA has represented the interests of millions of law-abiding Illinois firearm owners.

Well, hells-bells! 

Of course The Obama doesn't want anything to do with a gun owner...to him we're all "bitter" and we "cling to our religion and God"!  We're all a bunch of redneck hicks who drive pickup trucks with gun racks and Confederate battle flag bumper stickers; and we watch NASCAR races!

I do find it the height of irony that he seems to want to cull out potential gun-owner employees who would not be tempted to work for The One in the first place.

When I get my next bail out check from the IRS, I'm going to get a new AR-15.

Nah. Get a uses SKS. Ammo is cheaper and it has more pop. You can buy all kinds of goodies for it cheaper than an AR also.

If you really want to spend the money, get the civilian version of the P90. (PS90)

All great options but useless without the ammo...don't forget that (as CCTAU pointed out also).  You know that The Obama won't forget about it either...

That impact guns website has alot of that GSG stuff. I've never seen most of these models.
Basically, they are HK 22LR knockoffs. I imagine it is good stuff, if you won't to scare the hell out of people and burn through alot of rounds.

Thanks.  I'll check it out.  I've got my "economic stimulus check" on the way to me from our benevolent IRS and I'm itching to spend it on a "heater".

Criminalizing the second amendment right...I guess that what Ranger12 sarcastically implied is surely true with this new crowd; only criminals own guns.

Don't say you all weren't warned.
