This is as bad as Pete King. Where's the due process? I'm sorry, but if they can't be trusted, then they can be incarcerated, exiled or executed. I'm tired of these half steps. Either you have the rights of full citizenship with the right to self defense, or you don't. Is there something in Long Island's water?

I didn’t know that flying was a Constitutional right.

"Senator Ted Kennedy found his name on the list..."

Well that cinches it. We definitely don't want him having a gun...

If this passes, courts will eventually strike it down. Because the second amendment to the constitution has been held to protect an individual right to bear arms, McCarthy's bill would represent a prior restraint of a constitutional right.

It may eventually exist in some form, but there will have to be some sort of due process added in order to make it pass legal muster.

Rights don’t come from the Constitution.

Notorious Anti-gunner Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy has introduced a bill that would takes name from the so-called "no fly list" and place them in the National Instant Criminal Background Check system as ineligible to purchase a firearm.

To hell with these damn laws, I'll follow my conscience.

[Dead Corpse]

Wrong way to look at this. What clause in the Constitution gives the FedGov this power? I can’t think of one...

[DoughtyOne]

Hey Steni, have you seen this?

I thought we were supposed to have defeated the leftists on new gun legislation.

Dumb dumb...

[Secret Agent Man]

This is evil.

There’s no way literally short of an act of Congress, to get off the no-fly list.

This is just.

Keep looking up, Christians. Any day now.

[SeanOGuano]

Sorry congresswoman. The people on the list already have guns or can get them anytime they want whether this got passed or not.

It isn't, but you have the cart before the horse. This is where the Brady NICS check goes wrong. People can be denied their rights recognized by the Second Amendment denied without due process.

[Tarpon]

Neither does flying ... But I think you know what I meant.

The difference between and enumerated Constitutional Right and flying on an airplane is quite distinct.

"Senator Ted Kennedy found his name on the list..."

Kennedy is proof you don't need a gun to kill someone.

[Tarpon]

Ripe territory for a suit ... Once the SC recognized the Second Amendment defined an individual right, the boundaries need to be litigated for determination.

Once the enumerated threshold was crossed in Heller, the bar went way up.

We need more lawyers willing to pursue

If the pilot or his company allows you to fly for whatever price, and you agree, then certainly you do have a right to fly. Where is the federal government allowed to prevent 2 parties from exchanging goods and services?

[b4its2late]

Kennedy should be on the list. Hell, all the booze on the flight would disappear if he were on my flight and I would be pissed.

[b4its2late]

California has the fruits and we in NY have the nuts.

[Tarpon]

Uhh, that would be a contract, not a right. Rights come from God.

The liberals have tried mightly to change the language regarding rights, healthcare, marriage rights and so on, and only partially succeeded. It worked with liberal though.

[djsherin]

And do you not have a right to contract?
Does the federal government have the Constitutional power to prevent you from making contracts with other parties?
