Bill empowers attorney general to forbid firearms for those 'suspected dangerous'
A new gun law being considered in Congress, if aligned with Department of Homeland Security memos labeling everyday Americans as potential "threats," could potentially deny firearms to pro-lifers, gun-rights advocates, tax protesters, animal rights activists, and a host of others – any already on the expansive DHS watch list for potential "extremism."
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., has sponsored H.R. 2159, the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009, which permits the attorney general to deny transfer of a firearm to any "known or suspected dangerous terrorist." The bill requires only that the potential firearm transferee is "appropriately suspected" of preparing for a terrorist act and that the attorney general "has a reasonable belief" that the gun might be used in connection with terrorism.

When?
Our rights as Americans are being stripped away at a speed I never thought I’d see in my lifetime. If ever an American needed to be an armed citizen, it is now.
Division of Thought Crime. Or is it Pre-Crime? Or is it mere oppression of undesirables, much as old gun control laws came into being to disarm blacks?
GRRRR ping
Bills like this will turn “potential threats” into real ones ...
But, see Montana, Texas, Tennessee, Idaho, and Utah: “Feds can shove gun laws in our state, for guns made and used in this state (which therefore never moved in interstate commerce).”
Republican Peter King is anti-gun? I did not know that.
Who needs liberals when RINOS do the job for them!!
And this is the same guy that gets smoochy-smoochy air-time on Hannity.....

These bastards are sinister. They just can’t leave it alone.
“Our rights as Americans are being stripped away at a speed I never thought I’d see in my lifetime.”
This is just the beginning.
0bama is a hard-core leftist.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
I hope all of the foolish Republicans who refuse to wake up and acknowledge that these are extreme leftists at the helm are taking note.
These are Communists.
Poo-poo all you want—you’ll be wishing you listened to people like me in a few years.
Best of luck to you in the new Amerika.
How is this possible? Unlike the 1st Amendment which places restrictions upon Congress and the Federal Government the 2nd Amendment prohibits EVERYONE from infringing the rights of the people.
Rhino.
And, the nefarious deeds of a crafty terrorist need not involve guns at all. I’m sure they would be happy to produce a mushroom cloud rather than a hail of bullets.
I have reached a point wherein I now WANT them to find out.
I want there to be no mistake as to exactly how much millions of us truly love our country. I want them to know with every fiber of their miserable souls that we willing to do whatever it takes to preserve it just as it was and as it was meant to be.
And I want that to happen soon. If that marks me as a dangerous man, then so be it. I would rather go to my grave as a patriot that tried, than a coward.
"...Any weapons we resort to must be "real" weapons not pistols. i.e. Rifles and shotguns. Due to concerns of re-supply (you have to plan for a long battle) such weapons should be limited to very small number of different rounds."
"if it is decided to fight, be prepared to fight, bring a backpack, entrenching tool, tent, and other equipment of an Infantrymen. You will need it for Bush and his supporters decides it is better to fight than to accept the will of the people, the fight to overthrow them will be a long fight."
