End of the no fly list.
It required secrecy: of whether you are on it, and how without adjudication.
Now there will be litigation demanding right to militia arms a la _Heller_, and demand of strict scrutiny a la adjudication of individual prohibition.
who came up with the no fly no buy talking point? Its dumb as hell. Neither San Bernadino terrorists were on the no fly list. Will the GOP challenge this or surrender to this stupid idea
No lie... A friend of ours was traveling to Disney World. They were held up at the airport because the name of their preschool child was on the no fly list. This child’s name is as American as apple pie.
How about if you are a gov employee and are in the watch list, you are FIRED. That would eliminate 72 people working at TSA. Imagine this, a person checking if you should be allowed to fly is on a terror watch list. only in Obama’s distorted USA.
Are members of the NRA already on the “list”?
Are the people Lois Lerner targeted on the “list”?
What percentage of the “list” is Christian versus Muslim?
1. Put all registered gun owners on the no fly list.
2. Confiscated their guns
3. Dictatorship

PING!
Stompy-foot made a fool of himself tonight.
is there some way to fight back, against
the ‘no-buy-no-fly list’ being secret?
how do we find out the names
of the people making the list?
This whole thing is bs. If you are bad enough to be on the no fly list, would it not show up on the background check.
It’s a non issue.
I agree with you, Laz.
When we were all young and optimistic, could you imagine seeing the things going on today with the approval of half the Voting Population in your Lifetime?
I certainly can’t.
” In this effort, the present “No-Fly List” would be used to also deny the purchase of firearms to those people who are on that list.”
The vast majority of people on the no-fly list aren’t even Americans. In Aug 2013 only 800 of over 40,000 were Americans.
Good assessment - not many are aware of the total lack of Constitutional objectivity/protections of the No Fly “standards...
IBNonIslamicZOT. Hey, Laz, you had a GOOD run.
Ted Kennedy was irked to be on a *no-fly* list.
It was his driver’s license that should have been revoked, IIRC.

It's about putting their enemies on a secret list and kicking their doors in at 3 am to confiscate "the arsenal" - and killing the target as a bonus if they twitch..
What'll happen is "an accident" In Committee - and out will pop a CutePuppies/FuzzyKittens bill that will bar the listees from buying guns - AND POSSESSING THEM.
3AM SWAT raids to follow...

Geez, dude - I'm 3 editorials behind you. :(
