Obama EO's on the way and they're BAD

[Dave]

Not wanting to add to the rumor mill too much, but both my wife and I have federal jobs and both of our offices have rumors that federal employees may be subject to the EO's to the tune of not being able to be employed if you own AW's, high cap mags or other NFA items.

I don't think so. Employment and civil rights acts prohibit this type of exclusion. My wife is an Investigator with a 3 letter agency and she has heard nothing on any fed action. For the "Tin-Foil" crowd; FEMA is also in her building and they haven't added tanks, personnel, weapons or a shit ton of money to that office either.
