Bill In Congress Would Prohibit Gun Sales To Anyone Government Decides Is A “Terrorist”

It appears due process is being thrown out the door.

"Due process" was thrown out a long, long time ago. But you weren't watching.

America -- a great idea, didn't last.

[Clint Williams]

There are only Freedom Fighters and Insurgents.

No there aren't. All I see is people who make a lot of noise online in like-minded forums. There is no fighting, there is no insurgency. Nowhere in this country. The sheeple are passively accepting what the Founding Founders rejected.

This bill would levy the sentence BEFORE conviction, BEFORE trial, and even BEFORE arrest! All based upon a bureaucrat’s OPINION.

The Rule of Law is dead; all hail the Rule of Man.

[bamahead]

This only strengthens my arguement that the GOP is utterly and completely clueless about what it means to be a conservative.

Bill In Congress Would Prohibit Gun Sales To Anyone Government Decides Is A “Terrorist”

Nice Catch-22 there. I can see how this Administration can make use of this law:

1. Anyone considered to be a terrorist may not own a gun;
2. All people who want to own a gun are considered to be terrorists; therefore,
3. All gun owners are prohibited from owning a gun.

No, I listen and decide. My idea of a true Conservative is someone who understands true Conservatism, who believes in small government, checks and balances, takes politics seriously because this nation is under siege, and does not associate with RINOS and LIBERALS who are trying to destroy this country.

Most of all, they understand the Constitution, the Intent of the Framers, and Rule of Law because we are a republic. Does that help? :)

[fish hawk]

You missed my sarcasm. I was referring to the mood now where the media calls terrorist in the Mideast, insurgents and freedom fighters rather than use the “terrorist” word. So if there can be NO terrorist over there, how can there be terrorists here in America.

[markomalley]

No, I listen and decide.

Good.

The point is that whether Sean, Rush, or even Mark say something is not a reason to accept what they say as divinely inspired truth. That is what liberals do with their little cult of personality that they have. Conservatives, like us, think.

[EdReform]

Spot on. Well said.

King has an “F” rating from the Gun Owners of America.

[SuperLuminal]

bttt

[LibertyRocks]

So, in other words they are creating a "No fly list" for gun ownership.
A NO 'GUN BUYING' LIST

Additionally, those young children, and businessmen with matching names and such for the no-fly lists, that were later found to be "no problem", should be able to tell you how well those TSA "No-fly" lists work...

[DrNo]

No F’King way!

>> I have never heard [Peter] King say anything that I didn’t agree with. He is one of the “good ones” here in NY. For those bad-mouthing him without knowledge of his past words.... they should do some homework. <<

Seriously? Here's Peter King's "past words". I take it you agree with the following?

"Joe Lieberman best measures up, more than anyone in either party, as vice presidential candidate, or, quite frankly, as a presidential candidate."
- Congressman Peter King, August 2008

"Dede [Scozzafava] is the only Republican candidate in this race, and the only candidate with a proven record that Republicans can trust in Washington. A vote for either of her opponents is a vote for Nancy Pelosi"

"We've had now 17 years of this stuff, of just trying to tear down the president and demonizing. There was no reason to demonize Bill Clinton, no reason to demonize George Bush, and we should not be demonizing Barack Obama. With you -- I agree with him, by the way. I agree with President Obama on Iraq and Afghanistan and on some of his homeland security decisions."

"I've endorsed Rudy's campaign. Rudy Giuliani is the best qualified for President. We'd both ride the Long Island Rail Road into Manhattan/ Last Friday, we took Amtrak down to D.C. for a conservative conference. I said to myself, 'Forty years later, and I'm still riding the train with Rudy."

"[Homeland Security under President Bush] raises very serious questions about the judgment and the sincerity of the Department and everything they do. So I am going to be investigating them from top to bottom and one clear example is this whole scandal with [ex-]Congressman Duke Cunningham, which has now unfolded to include orgies at the Watergate hotel. It involves prostitutes and booze and gambling and CIA agents. People were driven to the Watergate hotel for these orgies in limousines... [Homeland Security] will be sorry they did this to New York"

"Hillary Clinton has done an absolutely fantastic job for this state. When it comes to New York, Senator Clinton is always there for us"

Do I need to go on with King's own words over the years?

[rabscuttle385]

What a RINO!

[Impy]

Gee Panaxanax I hope you just missed those comments by King!

The first and last ones in particular would my make my hand shake if I ever went to pull the level to vote for him.

[panaxanax]

My comments in post #30 were based on what I had heard him say via FOX news clips. Re: “I have never heard [Peter] King say anything that I didn’t agree with.” Not having the luxury of time nor the desire to follow his every word from the past, I did think that he was “one of the good ones”.

I stand corrected. Get over it.

[snowsislander]

At this juncture, no Republican should introduce any legislation.

The only bills that can pass currently are those completely acceptable to the Pelosi-Reid leadership, who have an insuperable lock on getting legislation through.

Even a bill that starts out with laudable goals (and this execrable bill by Congressman King has no redeeming features to begin with) will swiftly be transformed into a nightmare, an Orwellian inversion of whatever good it might have originally had.

No need to be snippy chum. You were the one lecturing people on “doing their homework” when it was in fact yourself who failed to complete the assignment. ;)
