Dear Employees,...

[twyacht]

Dear Employees:

    As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.

    So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change...... I gave it to them.


    I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.


                                                             THE BOSS

Because NRA members have a higher chance of going 'postal' if they get fired?

Nice broad brush of tar ya got there.

[Hazcat]

What does fire or lay off have to do with the rest (rob, rape, etc)?  One is legal and the others are violent crimes!

The Brady bunch would love your statement.  It shows that even NRA members don't trust other NRA members (or gun owners in general) not to start shooting every time they get mad.

Haz it was a freaking joke. I don't know who peed in your cheerios this morning,but lighten the hell up.

FQ,

Some jokes take on a different meaning when you look at the big picture.  The Ant's watch us and listen to us for ammo against us.  It is like the changing of my views on alcohol and guns and hunting jokes since I started teaching.  Not that I don't find humor in some of the stuff, but I'm not going to wear the t-shirts or focus on the jokes when I am trying to teach safe and responsible shooting, hunting and gun ownership as a whole.

Yea, maybe it makes us a little anal every now and then, but just like many firearm safety rules - Better safe than sorry!

in this case, this employer just insured that his company will go under. ( yeah I know its a joke, but if it was real)  I don't care how good your lawyer is, the trail will go something like this.

"thank you your honor.  I would like to present exhibt A.  The plantiff now rests"

So political persuasion is also a protected class now too? Like gays, women and everyone but whites?

Do it, but STFU about how you picked. Let 'em figure it out if they can.

exactly.

I have only been fired once in my life, it was from a gun store.  I was on jury duty for 2 weeks, during which time they could not sell guns for 3 hours a day do to lack of staff.  the day I got back, I was fired for taking a less then $20 check the year before and not writing down the DL experation date...  every one in the store knew why I was fired, hell I bet every one here knows why I was fired, but no way in hell I could prove it.

OK, let me put it in monosyllabic words for you. DON'T POST BAD THINGS ABOUT GUN OWNERS!  It can and will be used against us!

[wisconsin]

Funny for the boss as long as they weren't next to an NRA sticker, then a lot less amusing, for him at least. (actually, firing the employee with the NRA sticker is never a good idea, which says that the price of membership is money well spent)!

As you can see by the number of my posts I don't say much. More of a listen and watch kind of guy. So I have been watching some of you posts and find some of them quite amusing.You seem to be someone who will shake the table and see what happens kind of person I could be wrong. And while I will not become part of the crowd that kicks someone for there opinion I will share with you what just happened to me last week here at work. As everyone here at my job who passes my work bench knows I'm a NRA member and proud of it. Anyone who passes my bench is invited to take any of my firearm publications with them to read at any time no questions asked. This year has been quite hard on us with layoffs. And thing aren't getting any brighter. Now layoffs are coming to my department and I am the lowest guy on the seniority pole. I was asked last week if I wouldn't mind coming to our department that deals with unwanted behavior. I truly thought this was it I'm going to be laid off. Nope. I was asked how things were going? I responded fine. They showed me one of my NRA mags and asked what I though about the chance of me being layed off. Now it dawns on me whats going on. I told them I would have the same feelings as everyone else and why do you ask. They said no real reason. I asked if they enjoyed the magazine and told them that the NRA has a open enrollment policy and I'd be happy to sponsor them If they wanted to join. I got a blank stare. I went on to tell them that I was raised in a law enforcement family/spent 11 yrs working for the police department in a civilian capacity/ I have been physically robbed twice in my life. And a third time at a gas station I worked at in OK.I was lucky enough to have escaped being robbed and shot only because another guy was working with me that night. I told them they had nothing to fear from me. That I was the guy who would responed to there childrens/ wife call for help in the night. I would be the guy who would stop on the freeway at night and help there mother change her tire so she could get home safe that night. I would do all this and more without being asked. Only because it is the right thing to do. And I am a member of the NRA. And to really answer your question about what I would do if i got layed off. File for unemployment what else. Point of this story. Simple. I expect that kind of thought process from sheep but not from us here. Peeing in our cheerios and telling someone to lighten the hell up. Well lets just say you should listen to some of you own advice ( Removing a post about a sawed off shotgun) in other words don't post those thought here and then tell everyone to lighten the hell up. Just my .02

Wisconsin I will use you as an example of still waters run deep. I thought I was making a harmless joke (inside the family) apparently, I have reason to be more paranoid than I am, as your experience points out. I therefore offer an apology and will delete the posts. BTW, I do sometimes like to throw something out there and see what happens, but its always in fun, always understanding that we are on the same side on the 2A and mostly just because I'm curious to see what other folks think about an issue. Thats how you learn. My Afghanistan post is an example, I honestly don't know what to do and would like other ideas. Anyway, post more often.
