Does it sound good that terrorists should not be allowed to own guns? So the anti-gun (anti-civil rights) groups are pushing to ban those on the terrorist watch list from owning guns. They want to give the government the ability to delete your civil rights just because they enter your name into a database of people who never were convicted of a crime and thus bypass the court system. I could get you on that list with just a phone call to homeland security or by just picking a fight with you in an airport. The next step will be to ban those on that list from voting and from communicating over the internet and phone. Should terrorists vote? Should they communicate with each other by phone? The list contains many people who were placed there because the government did not like their political views. This is what corrupt foreign countries do? In the USA we like to think of ourselves as more advanced than this. It’s a good thing this law failed, but the fact that it was considered in the first place shows how close this country is to becoming a corrupt craphole where they invent laws on the fly and take the rights away of anyone they want without the balance of power brought about by the courts. Our next move should be to remove this list from existence.
