Bump.
And why are Democrats like McAuliffe pushing to restore rights to proven dangers to society (felons)?

If you are on the list what the hell are you doing living next door?

If they can be stripped away, they are no longer rights.

Because when elections in some districts are decided by a few dozen votes he just got an extra 260,000 votes.

Obviously this writer does not appreciate the rights of Americans. Allow rights to be taken from a small class and soon the government will withdraw them from everyone. Big government, aka “Big Brother”, is never the answer!

No, they never were really rights, just a convenience to the .gov to let you think you had rights. When it becomes inconvenient...POOF...goodbye
“Rights”

Ooooh. If a person exploited this they could have an entire clothing line with a nice emblem marking these people as nonpeople instead of some silly sewn on patch!/s

Why bother with watch lists why not just have the secret police come drag us away to the memory hole.

I suspect they do appreciate the rights of Americans, and that their article is intended to point out that restricting 2nd Amendment rights is really no different than restricting any or all of a citizen's rights.
The writer, and the illustrator leave plenty of clues that his letter is actually against the removal of any rights without due cause. But he didn't feel the need for a /sarc tag given the picture showing the constitution with everything covered in black marker.

Allow rights to be taken from a small class and soon the government will withdraw them from everyone.
Is anyone fool enough to believe that we still have rights? Minorities have rights. Criminals have rights. Illegals have rights............American law abiding citizens do not!

Most of do not remember but know of when the USA put a whole race of people in prisons. That would be the Japanese. Many POWs were brought to they USA and ended up working farms and such until the end of the war. These people did not have a religious mandate, jihad, to kill us though. Muslims have been at war against this country whether the Barbary pirates, selling black slaves, 911 and now local terror attacks. Obama takes the obvious solutions off of the table.

No, we always have rights no matter who refuses to recognize them. It’s always been up to us to assert them.

The author doesn’t get there in the excerpt, but the trip down the road of secret no-fly lists ends at the concentration camp. If individuals are so dangerous they have to be proscribed from public transport, etc. — why should they be “allowed” to remain loose?
(That is an observation, not advocacy.)
