Oregon Background check question

[PRG-Loki]

I try to buy from same gun shop but once and I while I'll pick up one elsewhere.
I never have an issue with the background check and at a certain big retail store I also never have a problem.
Two different times though, I purchased from Cabela's and both times, at the end of entering all the information they asked me if I knew certain people. All had my last name but I have no idea who they are. I asked them why are they asking and they said it came up on the background to ask. No other store has ever asked me if I knew certain people. I searched and searched the internet but could not find anything on this.
Is this normal or is Cabela's just fishing?

Spill the beans, just what is your relationship with John Gotti?

If you're just buying a gun, only what's relevant to the 4473 and state firearms forms, if any, are all that's needed. They aren't or shouldn't be doing full-on single scope background investigation like you're getting a security clearance, just using your rights per the 2A.

I was just buying a gun. The second time it happened I told them I wasn't going to answer them. They said they couldn't finish the background if I didn't answer the questions one at a time.

Unless you work for Cabela's I'm not telling.

I'd tell them no problem, Sportsmans is just down the street and walk out. Now if the same thing happens at Sportsmans as well I'd want to know whats up. As in who wants to know. I haven't ever been asked questions like that and I'm sure most here haven't.

Relax everyone, the ATF is just trying to figure out who John Galt is. Asking random firearms purchasers is totally normal and is part of the regular procedure. I mean, who else is likely to know the guy, ANTIFA members?

It's some type of internal system they use. It always happened to me with firearm purchases from Cabela's and only Cabela's. Probably part of the reason they take so darn long to process them. After working a job doing bg checks for firearm purchases I realize how awful their process is.

No problem at Sportsman's. Just purchased one there a few weeks ago.

So you think it's not an act of war to to send shock troops into a civilian dance party to rape, murder and kidnap said civilians and it deserves no military response?

They keep asking me if I'm dating Cara Delevingne.

I've had Cabela's ask questions that were above and beyond. Walked away. . No sale. None of your {fill in the blank} business.

I do have one of those common names. Matter of fact it's the same name I use at Sportsman's and Highline. Neither have asked me if I knew person A, B, C and D.

What does this have to do with guns or being a gun owner?
