This is just another political weapon for demonrats. Republicans won’t and can’t use it because the bureaucrats would not cooperate.
I have every confidence that the government will quickly exploit this law to add all NRA members, tea party members, Freepers, etc to this list with maximum speed as soon as the law is passed. The DHS has many times told us they think the real danger is right wing people who believe in the constitution and do not like our oppressive government.
This list will quickly balloon to include 10s of millions of us who have nothing to do with terrorism.
Not sure that's an accurate list, but I do think this ... the more severe the penalty, the more likely the government is to use the tool. It's much more meaningful to deny a person the right to defend themselves, than to merely deny them the right to commercial air travel.
Two principles that rarely fail. Follow the money. And, It's all about control.
As I said on another thread, so many innocent Americans will be added to no-fly list a new Federal Agency will be established to handle appeals.
Appeals which will fail because when investigating an appeal, anything in one’s past can be twisted to illustrate why someone should not be allowed to purchase a firearm.
