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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
