Just sitting here wondering what the gun-happy, scared-of-their-own-government people might do if their government tells them that laws have to be passed to try and prevent guns from getting in the hands of a terrorist. Every time the government mentions passing laws making it harder for the mentally ill to get a gun, the NRA and the gun manufactures spend millions of dollars playing on the fearful convincing them into believing their government is coming after everybodys guns. Some of the same laws to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill would have to be passed to keep guns out of the hands of a terrorist be they domestic or foreign.

"Checks and Balances" implies some justice is involved. But where's the "justice" in disarming a citizen on the unsubstantiated whim or suspicion of some faceless bureaucrat ? It certainly isn't in the "secret government lists" where a citizen can't - except at exorbitant personal expense - even discover their listing, let alone contest it. It isn't in pre-supposing certain classes of individuals should be disarmed ala the DHS.

So this is yet another pean mindlessly confirming the essential truth of Ronal Reagan's famous "five frightening words" .

You don't believe that I should own guns.

I don't believe you should be allowed to vote. Your stupidity should make you ineligible to register to vote.

It is basically the same thing. Both are rights guaranteed to citizens of the United States. The same rights are non existent in much of the world.

If you don't like the gun laws in the USA, I suggest you move to France or Great Britain.
