Yes, it seems Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s beliefs about military folks being prone to right-wing extremism have spread to the Pentagon and beyond.
This news makes me wonder what other information service members soon might be forced to reveal. Perhaps they’ll be required to answer this yes-or-no question:
“Are you loyal to Dear Leader Obama?”

Thanks for this post. We had a similar rule in the Canadian Army. It only applied to firearms on Post though. Eventually we had to keep the firearms on Base with the Supply Sergeant.
We now have a firearm registration in Canada which is all screwed up. We call it the Billion Dollar boondoggle. Responsible firearms owners (hunters, farmers, collectors) are not the problem. It is all the illegal guns being smuggled into the country. Even criminals can't be dumb enough to commit a crime with a registered weapon.

Esta, when I was young I couldn't understand why all guns weren't registered and why people objected so much.
Now I do. The government has violated the conditions that create trust. So, the gunowners don't want another law.
They are correct to believe that Holder, Janet Reno, and others want to confiscate the guns. They are correct, indeed.
How to restore trust?

You see that if you impose a well-intentioned law on people distrustful of their government, there will be problems.
I can't think of a better way, frankly, but my question is: why now? And, if there is no good answer to that, then I say- don't obey the law.

they should just make ALL guns illegal. then guns will be as easy to get as crack-cocaine in the ghetto, which is also illegal, by the way.
