Newtown gives US a real chance to limit 14th Amendment protections [View all]
The nation finally has a fulcrum to push against, and it's way past due.
In the wake of 911 and the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. A.C.T. aren't equal protection and due process just more troublesome outdated ideas that get in the way of the heroes really being able to protect us?
How can we possibly overlook such a great opportunity to liberate our nation from the burden placed on it by messing around worrying about the equal protection and due process rights of SPECIAL INTERESTS?
Why should the people protecting us have to make pretzels out of themselves trying to narrowly define the classes of 'crazy' people we KNOW we need to act against?. It just prolongs our pain and MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE!
Why can't we just create a great big net, and in the words of Donald Rumsfeld "SWEEP THEM ALL UP!"?
Damn. I don't see any problem. If we could just get rid of these moldy old documents that get in the way of our safety, this would be a better regulated America.
Really, there should be absolutely no question about this. OUR CAUSE IS JUST! Ending Mass Killings is a WORTHY CAUSE.
In finding the IMMEDIATE, FACILE, BROAD REACHING, UNCOMPLICATED SOLUTIONS that the PEOPLE DEMAND to REDUCE THE PEOPLE'S RISKS, no conflict of rights or values can be allowed to stand in the way.
It's time, NO, It's PAST TIME to get rid of the cause of the quagmire that bogs us down in piddly legal details...
Wow! I woke up in the nightmare before Christmas.
and yes, I know the database already exists.
and yes, I know SCOTUS has ruled it's ok to limit gun ownership due to mental illness
and yes, I know that most states don't fully comply because of conflicts with HIPAA
and yes, I actually do think guns should be kept out of the hands of people _adjudicated_ to be incompetent to handle them or to be a danger to themselves and others
