Enforce the one existing gun law - "Shall NOT be infringed"!

Government was not granted the power to infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms, so there are no "gun laws". To make that perfectly clear to would be tyrants (Whigs/Republicans and Democrats), the Second Amendment was added to the Constitution.

Cruel and unusual punishment, such as ex-cons alleged loss of civil rights, is specifically prohibited under the Eighth Amendment.

Databases and background checks were not among the powers granted to gov either. To make that perfectly clear to the aforementioned tyrants, the Fourth and Fifth Amendments were added to the Constitution.

Legislating and prosecuting Pre-crime, thought-crime, "terrorists", and "gangs" was not granted to gov. The First, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments cover this.

Doesn't anyone read the Constitution, or have any regard for the rule of law nowadays? Of the BOR, the only Amendment the gov doesn't violate on a daily basis is the Third (quartering of troups).

Arrest tyrants, not gun owners!

What does it take to get on a terror watch list?

[Blood of Tyrants]

I wouldn't worry too much. We have all heard about innocent people with the same name as a suspected terrorist being prevented from flying. Probably the same thing here.

Certainly not the Supreme Court. They rule according to what OTHER NATIONS are doing.

[untrained skeptic]

Sen. Frank Lautenberg is just up to the dems old tricks of trying make it sound like there's a problem here that could be solved with a firearms registry.

It's important to note that the FBI know that these people purchased guns, because they were informed, and they keep record of that fact. Therefore there's no need to maintain another record, and there's definitely no justification for keeping records of all transactions.

It questionable if the FBI being able to be notified and keep track of a legal firearms purchase is legal since they gained the information through the NICS system.

These are people who haven't been charged with a crime. It's likely that the majority of the people on the watch list are not terrorists. They merely have had contact with suspected terrorists, and the FBI is looking to see if there is a real connection.

Lautenberg is presenting the watch list as something it's not and trying to use it to justify keeping a permanent record of all LEGAL firearms transactions.

He's either extremely dishonest, extremely stupid, or both.

Why do voters keep putting people like him in office.

I wonder how much taxpayer money he wasted on this study the he already knew what the results would be and wasn't trying to use the actual facts from anyway.

Since the liberals answer to everything is more laws, why don't we just pass a law requiring terrorists to register with local law enforcement like sex offenders? (sarc)

NO!

[white trash redneck]

They'll use any excuse they can to interfere with the 2A.

But then ask them about asking voters to produce ID...

[TheDon]

Wow! The whole article is spent undermining the claim of the title!

[Jeff Gordon]

Is this the same watch list that causes the FAA to divert flights flying four year old boys with funny names?

Is this the same watch list that kept Edward Kennedy grounded?

Is this same watch list that time after time causes the same old lady to be pulled out the security line?
