SPLC is in bed with this administration. You can bet SPLC will have a say as to how the list is constructed.

Why isn’t the “no fly list” a “prosecute now list”?

Congress won’t do it because there is some little quirk in our laws that saw you have the right to face your accuser. The watch list is nothing more than a wish list in most cases.

Isn’t it “unconstitutional” to apply a “religious test” to buy a gun? What the hell is this moron thinking?

The morons on “Morning Joe” think this is a great idea and they think Obama should simply issue an executive order requiring all 50 States to adopt Connecticut’s ban.
Isn’t living in a Leftist dictatorship wonderful?

common sense to a leftie
* prohibit buying a gun (2nd amendment right)
- by some people who can labeled potential criminals
- without "presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury" or "without due process of law" (5th amendment)
- without "speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury" (6th amendment)
- and mostly based on who we associate with and what we say (1st amendment)
I guess common sense to a leftie is that the Constitution is an old rag we should ignore.
My common sense is that once they've got the population accepting that it's ok to ignore these amendments it's a small step to convince the public to ignore the 4th (search and seizure).
I'd like some idiots to give up their 1st amendment rights based on the stupid things they say. I wouldn't want this to be forced on them without due process unless they start talking about quartering soldiers (3rd amendment) in everyone's home to report on who's scary and seize weapons. As outrageous as that seems, I don't know where they draw the line on limitations of government power.

If the âwatch listsâ are accurate and not used to punish political or social opponents then I have zero problem with it. The watch lists are secret and extra judicial. They are no reason to infringe one's right to posess arms.

Maybe Malloy should be nominated for the no fly list.

Let’s see you can’t fly on an airplane because you culd be a terrorist but the same people on this list can walk around freely in the USA
They can go to crowded places like movies , sports events, schools, churches etc etc
Makes a lot of sense

Want to search the data base for your name http://www.no-fly-list.com/
As of right now there is over 98,000 of us on it.
That list is fake. There is no "Terrorist Security Administration."
The real list is secret and I honestly wonder if the government is going to hand it over to Connecticut officials.

If the "watch lists" are accurate and not used to punish political or social opponents then I have zero problem with it. The San Bernardino Terrorists were not on any watch list. But I bet you and I are.

If “terrorists” consists solely of “non-citizens,” then yes. In fact, I would go so far as to say that NO non-citizen should be allowed to buy — or even possess — a firearm. Nor should they be accorded any of the same rights as citizens under the Constitution: no right to free speech, no freedom to practice a religion, no right to jury trial or habeus corpus ... in short, no equal protection under the law.
There are two distinct legal entities here: citizens and non-citizens. If the latter receive all the same rights and distinctions of the former, what is the incentive to become a citizen? How do we exclude from those rights anyone on earth? Our borders become meaningless and our sovereignty ceases.
And while that may be what the marxists among us want, I’d prefer not to have some illiterate Zulu voting in my local school board election or a widow in Turkmenistan drawing Social Security benefits.
Citizens and non-citizens must have different rights if the distinction is to have any meaning at all.

I wondered when I noticed the name.
Thanks for the info.
And yes, I certainly believe the real list is secret. If our names are on it we certainly do not have the right to know it in this transparent regime.
But a question I have for anyone, is if someone is on it, and they try to book a flight, how does the person selling tickets know?

Exactly, that’s exactly why it’s unconstitutional.
