That would explain much.
When I applied for my driver’s license, I checked “no” to the question, “are you a terrorist?”
So I’m good...
To most normal Americans, when someone in government refers to a terrorist we naturally assume they mean a foaming-at-the-mouth muslim yelling Allah-Akbar while shooting up a US military base, burning people alive in cages, or chopping the heads off Christians.
But to democrats and other followers of Obama, the terrorist they are really referring to is someone like a Tea Party member, a military vet with an NRA sticker on his pick-up truck, or a Christian campaigning against mandatory homosexual education in Kindergarten.
Pay no attention to the Muslims cutting off heads.
Washington DC is the terrorist gun loophole.
I remember (1962) when Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar wanted new Federal laws to ban the import of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles and a call to register ONLY handguns.
The claim was these guns were used by criminals.
A year later Oswald used an Italian army surplus rifle to kill John Kennedy and the liberal press went ballistic!
From then till 1968 the opinion pages were filled with calls for a ban on those “evil” army surplus 5 shot bolt action rifles and calls to register ALL guns.
A close scrutiny of the demand showed Dodd and Cellar were trying to ELIMINATE COMPETITION for Remington, Winchester and Savage rifle makers.
After all, why should a poor farmer (back then) pay $10.00 for a bolt action army surplus rifle to hunt with when he SHOULD BE PAYING $45.00 for a fine American made bolt action hunting rifle.
So what is the REAL REASON Diane Fienstein is so hot to ban semi-auto rifles, something the politicians in the past said they would never do?
As noted above, if they can show someone fits this definition then they have probable cause to arrest them on terrorism charges. It's clear the bill is actually intended to disarm vets, Christian conservatives, anti-abortion protestors and Tea Party types.
Yeah, by “terrorists”, she means
“all who oppose our agenda”.
Given the co-sponsors this is a pretty obvious Trojan Horse. Zero chance of going anywhere but the Democrats will be screaming that Repubs don’t want to disarm terrorists. Same old tripe they roll out over and over again.
LOL. I hear what you are saying and agree you are correct but in practicality at that point in time I think the price difference between a Winchester 70 and a cheap Italian bolt action was money well spent.
She knows exactly what she is doing.
Trying to conflate fear of terrorism with the liberal agenda to gain control over gun ownership.
Democrats are more interested in forcing their world views on their fellow Americans than in killing terroists.
Once they have asserted total control here at home they will eliminate the terrorist threat with EBT cards, Job Fairs and free psychology counseling for the disaffected.
That's why they let Chris die in Benghazi. He was the point-man selling American arms/materiel to the terrorists, and with him dead, there's no story other than his "unfortunate" death.
Ahem.
I have to believe there's a very special place in Hell for these scumbag filth-people.
Then all they have to do is declare preppers, former military, republicans and Christians as terrorists. Then comes the 3 am kicking in of the door.... We have moved out of realm of law of "innocent until proven guilty" and have now moved to denying people's rights on suspicion alone.
If you’re a US citizen you are subject to the NSA, DHS & FBI knowing everything their is to know about you and if this becomes law and if you disagree in any fashion with the US government, take to the bank, you’ll be considered a terrorist and disarmed.
Wait a darn pickin minute here, you are being a bit too rash...
yes, I’ll give you that they are scumbags. And, furthermore, I’ll even grant that they are indeed filth.
But, no way they are... um... what was that third thing you called them?
“Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee...snip... said common sense dictates that the federal government stop gun sales to suspects on the terrorist watch list.
Which will be anyone we see fit to add to “the list” without due process.
Diane was well known for packing heat in California. We are sure she will certainly continue to be armed or have armed bodyguards - no matter if she gets this bill passed or not Disarmament is just for normal law- abiding Americsn citizens, not the important likes of the senator and her fellow One Percenters
Discolored...
LOL!
Under current law, known or suspected terrorists on terrorist watch lists are prohibited from boarding airplanes, but they are legally allowed to buy firearms and explosives anywhere in the United States. That makes no sense, Feinstein said in a statement. The Kouachi brothers, responsible for the attacks in Paris, were on U.S. terrorist watch lists, including the no-fly list. However, if the brothers had instead been in the United States, they would have been able to legally purchase weapons. Sadly, this situation isnt rare, she continued. Individuals on the consolidated terrorist watch list who sought to purchase a weapon in 2013 and 2014 cleared the background check in 455 out of 486 attempts. We need to close this dangerous loophole and keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists.
I think that in her case, it's an exponential growth of stupidity.
