(8,175 posts)14. I have a great solution for you
Instead of a no fly no buy bill, how about we repeal the 2nd amendment and take all guns away from civilians, and ban manufacturing and sales of any weapons (other than to the military or police), except for simple hunting rifles/shotguns and pistols that are not semii-auto and can't hold magazines. Only the two or so bullets you can load in them at one time. We could even go back to the musket that was used at the time the 2nd was written. That way nobody has to worry about their civil rights being taken away, even if they behave suspiciously like a mass murderer.
I think that could work.

You have to understand, due process only applies to the guy that just murdered the other guy

How about we just bust your door down and have a little look-see in your house?

Democrats were once all for interning Japanese-American citizens in concentration camps

Yes, it is. Do away with Due Process means you can be sent away at any time.

There isnt any evidence that a terror watch listee bought a gun legally, used it in a crime

Most of the people on the watch list are put on there by a computer using an algorithm

All the more reason for their to be transparency and due process to remove oneself from list

No fly, but go ahead and buy? Seems just nuts to me. If no fly lists need trimming, that's seperate.

I'm sure Lewis never met Sanders or saw him with his own eyes before national office
