Its so easy to take stuff out of context when you are crying in your beer.

A few more facts:

The point of the question was not to weed out gun owners, but rather “to ensure proper registration,” as transition spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter has explained. ABC’s Jake Tapper further notes that “the question is not meant to be any different in scope than the one about whether the Obama Administration candidate has run afoul of any law or regulation, ever gotten a traffic ticket of more than $50 in fines, and so on.”

Page 7 Miscellaneous
(59) Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage.

* An estimated 34 percent of the citizens in the United States own firearms, and there are thought to be more than 200 million firearms in private hands.
* Private gun ownership is generally not subject to either licensing or registration. The private resale of guns is largely unregulated in the United States.

I think I heard that Obama will have to fill roughly 6000 positions in the government...although I assume lower level positions will actually be filled by the higher-ups he hires personally. I have no idea if all 6000 will have to fill out the same questionnaire.
Oh yeah. This is really scary for all you gun owners.
