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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
