The NRA claims that they hate the terrorists as much as the next guy, but they don’t want any laws that take guns away, because that will be the first step in government taking everyone’s guns away.
Essentially what this law would do is deny weapons sales to anybody on the terror watch list. While I feel that the NRA is being paranoid in their approach, they do have a valid point when it comes to the terror watch list. The terror watch list has proven itself to be overwhelmingly inaccurate and less than reliable. |

So that idiot of a 'journalist' wants to remove rights protected by the Bill of Rights just because a person's name happens to appear on a list?
Keep in mind there is no due process, no judge, no jury, no counsel when a person is put on 'the list'. The 'secret evidence' used to put a person on 'the list' is not available to the person for use in defense of himself.
Ted Kennedy was on one of these 'lists'. If he wasn't an elected misrepresentative he would have never gotten himself off 'the list'.

thomaspaine, I thought so-called 'star chambers' were illegal. Has this country learned nothing from the days of the McCarthy blacklists?
The NRA is not being paranoid, BTW. Look at New Orleans. The local government DID come after guns.
