The NRA wants suspected terrorists buying guns!

The legislative proposal would allow this - or any future - Attorney General to deny a firearm purchase to individuals on terrorist "watch lists" without due process of law.

Watch lists are not an admitence of guilt.

I meant to get back to this sooner.



Of course. But it seems to be a presumption of guilt. Otherwise, they could get on airliners.

I guess it's true-that old saying-"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
I'm actually pro 2nd amendment. I'm pro all of them. I wish they were all defended as vigorously as the 2nd. I will never believe, though, that the 2nd was ever supposed to be unlimited unregistered access to the kind of weapons availible today. Yeah, yeah, I know all the talking points. The criminals are better armed than the cops. Always have been. They won't have to worry about me shooting back. Fine. Maybe they will be comfortable enough to leave their's home and not shoot me over the 10 bucks I got in my wallet. Besides, the way I read the laws, someone has to be actually shooting at me before I can legally shoot back. Otherwise, someone with a grudge could follow me around and shoot me the minute I pulled out my 12 gauge to go hunting, and claim self defence.

How many deaths are gun related in America each year? 30,000? 40? When is enough enough? Seems like all Osama bin forgotten has to do is invest in Ruger if he wants to kill lots of Americans. I've twice had a gun shoved up into my face, once by an irate Arab (see-once upon a time I was an advocate of genocide, too) and once by an irate husband. (that commandment is bull****, if you ask me) Point is, there are plain old too many guns in the hands of to many poeple that have no business with them. Civilisation ain't gonna collapse if guns are banned. If we are really worried about saving lives, they gotta go. It might be rough for a couple years, 'till all the hot-heads that shoot first and ask questions later are weeded out. I can't really see car loads of gang bangers having drive-by knifings. I can't see Hinkley running up and clubbing Ronnie Raygun with a bat. Chapman could have just kicked John Lennon in the balls to get his point across. And these last two weirdo's-the Virginia Tech guy and the guy here at the mall in Salt Lake, why they just need to pull their selves up by their bootstraps and join the damn corps. Or get the help they needed, if there was any money for that left over after buying all them bullets.

Go figure.

So Pritch your saying if they outlaw guns then every single gun in America will simply go away? Wow that is a happy world to live in. The biggest point here the thing that gets looked over the most is this is a RIGHT. If they take "The 2nd" away we may as well bend over and let the government have its sweet way with us. We cannot allow anyone and I mean anyone, police, military, local and city governments all the way up to the federal level take away any of our rights. For over 200 years people have died for these rights, left every thing they had for these rights. And so many people want to piss all over them and say, Well sorry guys you all died for nothing.
