    Post Obama administration forcing new gun buyers to declare race, ethnicity

    After today, it's all historical.

    Previously they only asked you if you were of a hispanic ethnicity (cultural background). Now they want to know your race (genetic heritage).

    The liberals would call that "ethnocentric".

    Here in Commiefornia, they drill down, at least for Asian/Pacific Islander Americans. Whites, blacks, Latinos have their general categories. Then the forms demand to know if an Asian buyer is Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodian, Thai, Samoan or other Pacific Islander, Korean, Hawaiian, etc. Interestingly enough, Hindu Indians fall in the 'other' category.

    You guys are pretty smart. I've never understood why Commiefornia did this. Do you guys have a guess as to their reasoning? Is it Gang related?

    Yeah, the gang relates to those in Washington stomping on the constitution and our second amendment.

    That question always annoyed me on the 4473. I always feel like putting American on it. Now if they were asking for skin colour that would be a bit different but I consider my race as American but that isn't exactly one of their options.

    I should put Mexican on mine next time I fill one out. Can you prove that I'm not if I produce no documentation saying otherwise?

    Mexican is the option that gets you additional scrutiny. I would pick a different nationality to pretend to be.
