Fans of mindless authoritarianism are having a pretty good month. The New York Times reports:

Congressional Democrats are trying to build support for an effort to bar gun purchases by terror suspects, hoping to take advantage of the same public anxieties about security that gave Republicans a ringing House victory.

The Democratic push seems likely to fall victim to opposition from the National Rifle Association and congressional gun-rights backers, chiefly Republicans, who have smothered firearms curbs for years. If the Republicans who control Congress block votes on the proposal, Democrats hope to profit politically by winning sympathy from angry voters.

As the Times implies, the bill’s proponents are quite open about their intentions. “Under current law,” Chuck Schumer explained over the weekend, “suspected or known terrorists who are on a no-fly list can legally purchase firearms in this country.” “Slamming this appalling loophole,” he argued, “ought to be a no brainer.” His colleague Harry Reid has made similar comments. “It’s outrageous,” Reid argues, “that dangerous individuals who are known terrorists can waltz into a gun show and buy any weapon they want.” In a Twitter conversation with me over the weekend, Reid’s deputy chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, put it even more clearly:

If FBI suspects you of being a terrorist & intending to commit terrorist acts, you shouldn’t be able to buy a gun. https://t.co/dE8gDXstYa

Of course, tarring and feathering as originally intended did not include those mobile tar heating units for doing roof work. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. Again, who is the decider as to who and why a name gets on "the" list? Because you post on FR a good enough reason?

Memo to all of you gun grabbers out there who entertain statist fantasies about using a “Serious Crisis” of terrorist attacks as pretext for trying to incrementally destroying our common sense civil right of armed self defense... You have already told us of your ultimate goal of Confiscation:

Mr. Cuomo, speaking on WGDJ-AM, said:'Confiscation could be an option.' http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/nyregion/cuomo-says-he-will-outline-gun-measures-next-month.html?_r=1&;

Anyone Who Would Use Terror as an Excuse to Subvert the Second Amendment Should Be Tarred

Good idea but he has far too much security.

[Torcert]

Yes, indeed.

I'll put it another way...

If you think that taking away people's gun Protects them... well then... You may be a Communard....

[Cobra64]

To Chucky and Dingy: If they are “known terrorists” buying guns, then why are they not in jail?

[DPMD]

Imagine the extend of terror, of the government instigated kind, if there were no 2nd Amendment.

"Aww don't feel noways tarred."

[Secret Agent Man]

More reason to keep it, actually.

Same evidence, polar opposite conclusions.

"Anyone Who Would Use Terror as an Excuse to Subvert the Second Amendment Should Be Tarred"

No. Anyone who would use terror as an excuse to subvert the Second Amendment should be tried, convicted, sentenced, and hanged as a traitor.

My thoughts exactly. What are the criteria that places a person on the list and who decides what that criteria is? Would “microaggression” or “hate speech” be included? If so I’d be at the top of the list.

I for one am shocked to see liberals ready to renounce their cherished “presumption of innocence.” I guess it shows the depths of their pathological hatred of guns.

“....cherished “presumption of innocence.”” Oh, it’s still in place but only when it’s in their favor. Conservatives, or terrorists as they prefer to see us, not so much.
