We've had guys on here before complaining about the doctor from their employer sponsored health insurance asked them a private question.
"Do you have any firearms in your house?"

I haven't seen any of them quit a job over it yet tho.

Exactly. And it's the same thing with employees of Hobby Lobby. If they can't live without post sex contraceptives they will find other jobs or pony up the money out of pocket or raise a child.

Bwahaha. If you're complaining about a thing conservatives like, you're a "whiner".

Complain about something the left did, you're an outspoken patriot.

The only real question here is whether you're simplistically measuring length only, or are you including girth and total displacement?

LOL, you completely missed the point.
Should an employer have the right to demand information about your firearms ownership?

A very good point. Imagine the outrage if someone's company decided to declare as Quaker and refused to cover anyone who owned a gun.

Dr: Dow'd you get that UTI
Patient: well, i sinned

Dr: that is sad to hear, i don't think your employer will cover this bottle of pills to fix you.
Patient: I understand, i don't want to offend their morals

Dr: oh, well, do you happen to own any firearms
Patient: THAT IS NONE OF YOUR F**KING BUSINESS

Do you believe there should be any governmental regulation of private enterprise?

That's a tough question - short answer is no.
That being said, laws concerning minimum wage, worker safety, OT, some of those things are certainly decent. But, it's kinda like having cops - yeah, we want police to arrest thieves, but we don't want them intruding on our rights. Hard to have one without the other.

Minimum wage is law. OT is governed by law. Do we want health insurance governed/mandated as well? I don't.
The gov just gets bigger and more intrusive - that's its nature.

Well you can thank your lucky stars that your employer does not have access to your health care records. It's a HIPAA thing. Kind of like your employer doesn't know how you contracted a UTI, they just predetermine if they will pay to treat UTIs.

I don't think that anyone is concerned that their employer knows if they own guns, it's the government that mandated that question.

Now, does the employer have a right to ask questions about your firearms ownership?

More to the point, does your employer have the right to deny you medical coverage because you own firearms if it violates the company's religious freedoms or morals?
