CNSNews.com asked Garamendi, who sponsored a “no fly, no buy” bill in the House last December and planned to reintroduce it in response to the Orlando massacre: “Do you think the Second Amendment right will help protect Americans from terrorism? Do you think the individual bearing of arms will protect Americans from radical Islam?”
“No,” Garamendi answered. “It will not.”
“That is a fight that has to be carried on internationally,” said the congressman, who participated in House Democrats' Wednesday sit-in over gun control. “And we’re doing that over in the Middle East right now. |

What BS. First, this is a DEMOCRAT co-sponsor, of a bill that is unconstitutional on several fronts; the Second, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
The Second Amendment infringement is obvious, but it is activated by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. While the Second guarantees a fundamental right, the Fifth and Fourteenth guarantee that this right (and all others) cannot be denied a priori, without due process of law.
This bill would allow being named on the list to initially deny the right to buy a firearm, with a supposed "due process" right of appeal after the fact.
The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee that rights can't be denied until AFTER due process, not BEFORE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
