Oh, we all know who they consider to be the biggest threat and we know that abuse of power is the norm for the Democrat party e.g. Lois Lerner and the IRS so we can all see where this is going. If there is going to be any peaceful agreement here, there will have to be infallible safeguards that ensure Law abiding citizens are not deprived of their rights by faceless bureaucrats without due process and without a means of redress. We can talk and we can see how close or how far apart we are. We should give nothing without receiving something of equal value however.
The DEMs do not have a monopoly on abuse of power. Our federal government, all of it, is paranoid and afraid of the public. This "us v them" mindset harbored by the government transcends party affiliation. One can find it in the local police shop too, or your town council.
As I noted above, the proposed law will function only as make work for government minions and lawyers. It will deter ZERO attacks. When this law fails, as it is guaranteed to do, stronger measures will be enacted.
