Imagine if the federal government suspended your right to your faith, your right to assemble and your right to speak your mind based on your inclusion on a secret list of American citizens with no prior due process and no open explanation of how you got on that list or how you can get off of it.
Absurd, right? So, why is it absurd to apply that scenario to your 1st amendment rights, but it’s “common sense” when it comes to your 2nd amendment rights?
The idea goes beyond absurd and borders on dangerous or even tyrannical when you discover that the Democrats (the party pushing for this latest constitutional infringement) aren’t even being forthcoming about the secret list they plan to use.
You keep hearing “No-fly/No buy” because, you know, it rhymes. And if a bill infringing on your constitutional rights rhymes like a Dr. Seuss book, apparently it’s more palatable. “No-fly/No buy” suggests that the “No-fly” list would be the list used to deny a citizen the right to purchase or possess a fire arm. But, is that the case?

It is going to fail.
I would mind every Muslim banned from buying guns. I don’t see a single problem with that. We are too liberal with guns and Muslims.
Two words. Lois Lerner.
Yep. My mother, age 72 was on the no fly list....some scumbag with similar name with warrants out. Took her MONTHS to get off of it, with the help of liberal Dem. Vic Snyder believe it or not.
The headache didn’t end there. YEARS after getting off the list, I got her signed up for TSA Precheck and Global Entry. Nope. Feds say she can’t have TSA precheck or Global entry because, at one point, she was on a no fly list. A couple of thousand dollars in lawyer fees letter, with Senator John Bozeman and Congressman Tim Griffin, we FINALLY persuaded them that she is a good citizen.
72 years old, 800+ credit score, no arrests, no traffic citations, NOTHING....(she did get a C in badminton in 1958).
The “No fly/No Buy” legislation sounds good, but the .gov will screw that up too. Call your Congresscritter and Senator and tell them this story.
Never underestimate the stoopidity of our (s)elected non-representatives. Stoopid knows no barriers.
How do you prove if someone is or isn’t a Muslim? Remember, Taqqiya.
If the gun shop thinks Muslim no gun. This is war folks!
Need an amendment directing that the same criteria applies to voter registration. Why not, it’s just another one of those pesky Constitutional rights.
The no fly list should be generated by a felony treason conviction in a court of law. This secret list stuff is so far from the Constitution that it would have made the Nazis jumpy.
If someone is considered a mortal threat to the citizens of this country, why don’t the authorities press charges?
What about, “If you are under FBI investigation, you cannot run for President!” Now, that’s a list I can live with!!!
I like the idea of putting responsibility on gun dealers of using discernment when they do business.
Sounds good to me !
I know, right?
These things are coming.
Hmmm. I thought she said it was just an inquiry. But she was telling the truth when she told Brett Baer that it had ZERO chance of being a problem for her candidacy. THAT I believe. Money talks, investigations walk.
Google the word “precrime”. If you love liberty, the cites will make your hair stand on end.
Hint: it’s not a new term, dates back to 1956.
People are not paying attention to whom this administration considers to be terrorist and I’ll give you a hint it isn’t the islamics that shoot ducks in a fish pond
Tell as many congresscritters as you can about what happened.
Also, tell the Trump campaign.
Amen.
It is important that Mr. TRUMP not long entertain taking the damn bait on the NoFly/NoBuy gun charade.
This was about JIHAD.
Why are we falling for the redirect to gun control?
This is not rocket science what is being attempted here.
