We've talked about Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's "No Fly" bill before. I've also made it the subject of my October Guns Magazine "Rights Watch" column:
Having been thwarted in 2005, she recently reintroduced H.R. 2401, the “No Fly, No Buy Act of 2009,” with the stated objective “To increase public safety and reduce the threat to domestic security by including persons who may be prevented from boarding an aircraft in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, and for other purposes.”
There's a danger that could catch citizens unawares with terrible consequences:
Author and attorney Dave Kopel noted, “Under the New McCarthyism, a prosecutor could send a gun-owner to federal prison without needing to show the person had ever committed a crime, or had taken any steps preparatory to committing a crime, but merely that the person’s name was on list compiled by a federal agent and the person had owned, used, or tried to buy a gun."

For those who prefer to read a physical magazine (and for those with older computers and/or dial-up service), the issue is available at newsstands throughout the land, and as I understand it, they also don't mind people who want to subscribe.
Appalling! More LibTard insanity in the works. Why can’t these ignorant gasbags read the Constitution? (That’s rhetorical...)
It’s time to take back the country.

Might be in the top 5 issues they have as priority.
It has to be. How else can they truly get away with their true agenda?
Heads up. when it is illegal to own guns only the criminals will have them and the government security force.,
Glen Beck said his program today will be on the President's so called security force,to be better armed than our armed forces..
God help us in our day, In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
