Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) says that although he is a gun owner himself and strongly believes in the Second Amendment, he also believes people on the no-fly list should be barred from purchasing guns.
"Iâm a gun owner. I strongly believe in the Second Amendment," Thompson said during an emotional press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday held by House and Senate Democrats to commemorate the third anniversary of the Newtown, Conn. shootings.

Useful idiot.
Without due process of course. How did you get on it and what are you suspected of? How do you get off the list?
One way to get on one of these lists is to have the same first Name, same middle initial and common surname as a guy married to a foul mouthed drunk, who insults anyone she comes in contact with. She gets banned and her husband gets on a serious watch list, and so do those with a the same names and similar age.
Another way seems to be sexist. Women married to guys who commit serious white collar crimes without any knowledge of the crimes are automatically on the list in spite of zero abetting. Then, those who get a divorce and change their surname back to their maiden names can find themselves on
a no fly or warning list.
So what you’re saying in so many words Mr. Thomson is that you’re an idiot?
When the Supremes maintain the ‘no fly list’ I’ll consider it and then reject it.
Thompson is a liar or he is a nut.
Every useful idiot they trot out has a D after his name.
Liar and nut are not mutually exclusive.He could be both.
Sorry, I just don't believe you.
No Thompson has a “D” after his name which means he’s the enemy.
Must be because California and Chicago gun laws have worked so well.
True enough
Kind of like saying, I’m a Free Man but I endorse slavery...especially since I consider myself one of the elite who won’t be called to work on the plantation....

This is an EXCELLENT video.
For the children.
I would imagine that most of these politicians own weapons or have armed personnel to protect their sorry asses.
They are just too afraid to admit it.
Fascist FUDD.
There is no due process to be placed on no fly. That is the problem.
I went to school with Mike. I disagree with him on pretty much everything, but I can attest to the fact that he’s familiar with guns (we grew up in a rural area). He’s also a Vietnam vet (infantry) and has been very good to vets who come to him with problems.
