You have to read the bill carefully to see why it is so dangerous to every American who owns a gun or ever intends to buy or possess a gun. This abomination will allow the AG's office to deny any law abiding person the right to buy, own, or have possession of any gun or ammunition just on the SUSPICION that he or she MAY possibly have some connection to a terrorist or a terrorist organization. An arrest or conviction for a terrorist crime is not necessary to qualify any person at any time as being under suspicion of being somehow involved in terrorism, and the government will be exempt from having to give a court it's reasons for suspecting you if you take your case to court.
The mere fact that Bush would appoint an AG who would join forces with an ultra-liberal NJ Democrat Senator to try foisting this kind of totally unconstitutional law on law abiding Americans is enough for me to renounce whatever loyalty and respect I ever had for the man, and less than a year ago I had quite a bit of both. I am now to the point where I will actually be glad to see him leave the White House and go back to TX.
If the Lautenburg/Gonzales bill is passed and signed into law, and apparently Bush has promised Gonzales that he will, no one’s guns will be safe from confiscation, and then the person whose guns are taken will not be able to legally buy or obtain in any way another gun. If you sue the AG for taking your guns without good cause and without compensation, the government will not have to give a judge it’s reasons for suspecting you of terrorist activity or even affiliation with a terrorist group.
If you think a Republican administration would never confiscate your guns using this bill if it becomes law, just imagine what a Democrat administration with Hillary as president and Chuck Schumer as AG could and would do with it.
