Federal Bureau Adding Third Gender to Firearm Purchase Form
« on: January 06, 2020, 03:14:17 am »
Texas Scorecard By Matt Stringer 1/2/2020

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms wants to add a “non-binary” gender option to the background check form used for new firearm purchases.

A federal government bureaucracy wants to make a controversial change to the background check forms general consumers use to purchase new firearms from licensed gun dealers.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) is amending Form 4473 to include an additional gender option where a prospective firearm buyer describes themselves for their background check.

An additional box labeled “Non-Binary” will provide consumers who think they are “gender non-conforming” with an option to openly state an identity preference outside of the conventions of science and biology.

The proposed rule change is on the Federal Register for a 60-day public comment period ending on February 24. Citizens can comment on the proposal before the changes go into effect.

If you don't know what plumbing you have by the age where you can purchase a firearm, I'm not so sure I'd trust you to handle a firearm safely.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yep. Any dude that thinks he's a chick, or any chick that thinks she's a dude, or anyone who thinks they're a doorknob, a sheep, or a fluffy pink unicorn, etc. has problems understanding reality.

Getting the terrorists to register.

Proving once again that the ATF should be a convenience store not qa government agency.

It's a sign of mental illness, and I thought the gubmint didn't want mentally ill people to own firearms (thus, "red flag" laws).

Right. Unless it is a disqualifying response, it shouldn't be on the form.
Your signature on the form places you under penalty of perjury should you lie.
