I wonder what the Patriot Act cheerleaders think about this one. They're only looking for terrorists, so we should just accept this, right?

I'd like to see the statistics on terrorists who buy weapons from retail sales outlets. Gangs obviously don't. I sincerely doub terrorists do either. Folks looking to do something bad with a weapon don't sign their name on forms purchasing it.

[Tarpon]

They can already do this, it's just the ATF and they turn them over to the FBI. No real change, except for the proviso 'suspect involved in terrorism'.

[Dead Corpse]

Oh goody...

BOHICA.

[aligncare]

Consistency would demand that response.

[lugsoul]

If you are against the Patriot Act, you love the terrorists and wish to see America consumed by flames. And, by the way, don't pay attention to that click on your phone. It is nothing.

Gun Rights ~ Bump!

A call for consistency means you hate our great nation, love the terrorists and teach your children Satanic rituals. Let us see your papers. Now.

Cheerleaders?

Is that akin to being a Bushbot?

BTW ... Have YOU contacted YOUR Senators and Congressional representative about this, or do you simply wish to start a skirmish?

I use VOIP, so they can't tap my end -- yet. But when they can there won't even be a click.

[B Knotts]

The PATRIOT Act needs to be cleaned up. The current bill, as amended, has all kinds of crap in it that has nothing whatsoever to do with protecting us from terrorists.

Also, they are trying to make some of it permanent, which is foolish and shortsighted. Do we want Democrats to have that kind of power to abuse someday?

[antiRepublicrat]

No real change, except for the proviso 'suspect involved in terrorism'.

That proviso allows the FBI to do it without a warrant.

Even if Bush signed it, which won't happen since he will veto it, the SC would certainly strike it down.

Actually, yes. I like contacting them, and have done so several times over the past few years on issues. I even called the office a bunch of times. I plan to schedule a sit-down chat one of these days.

[lugsoul]

Sure they can't.

BTW, your opposition to this necessary law enforcement tool creates a valid suspicion that you are an Agent of a Foreign Power, that you are a terrorist supporter, and your rights as a US citizen have now been revoked. They may even get around to telling you about it some day.

This is just another poison pill by the 'Rats that wasn't in the first Patriot Act.
