Senator Blunt Demands Answers From Obama Administration On Why ATF Is Forcing Gun Buyers To Declare Race, Ethnicity
Sep 19 2014

Race has been required on 4473s for some time now - funny people are just now noticing.

I am an American Indian, but look white, so I put down whatever I feel like at the time.

I am too. I have blond hair. Lol. But I get benefits and a cdib card. I always mark Caucasian.

FROM OP:
"The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in 2012 quietly amended its Form 4473 to force gun buyers to identify as either Indian, Asian, black, Pacific Islander, or white."...

The Washington Times reports that according to legal experts, requiring gun buyers to identify their race and ethnicity "is not required by federal law and provides little law enforcement value." Furthermore, gun industry officials worry about whether asking for the extra information creates "the risk of privacy intrusions and racial profiling."


Why was this new information gathering on the 4473's quietly started in 2012 for something that "is not required by federal law and provides little law enforcement value." Knowing Holder, the DOJ, the BATFE, etc. I wouldn't have any reservations in believing that they could wangle this into some type of "Loophole" so as to misuse and/or abuse the information collected on the 4473 form to somehow or someway fit into their anti-gun gun-grabbing agendas. IMHO, if this has not ever entered your mind, you are not doing due diligence and vigilence in order to protect your 2nd Amendment Rights for gunownership.

twoguns?: Deflecting? Derailing? Or are you just yanking my chain and/or pulling my leg? "Oh and I usually dont answer that question..."---must be pulling my leg cause you wouldn't get the goodies(firearm) if ya didn't fill out the 4473 completely. I repeat for all others:

yes, who thought up the need to know on a 4473 whether I am hispanic or not. I always skip it (cause I am not used to it being there) and they remind me when I give them the form.
