Context is everything. Remember when Bill Clinton was president, Janet Reno was AG, Morris Dees and the SPLC were directing public policy and the NRA was considered by many in positions of power to be a "seditious" organization?

Remember when Rush Limbaugh was blamed for the Oklahoma City bombing? Remember when the term "patriot" was used by the left as a slur akin to "potential terrorist"?

This is a far more complicated issue than it may seem. A change in the political wind could put a lot of polifical dissenters of all stripes on the watch list.

Watch lists are as safe as the people who keep them.

Do you trust the government to do this? What is the government changes to a new regime you don't like. What then?
