The next logical step after failing An Ideological Test for Gun Ownership would be forced inpatient psychiatric treatment. The Soviets were really good at that sort of thing . . .

The SPLC, VPC, and Brady are all outright “hate groups”.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says Sunday’s deadly attack on a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, a Milwaukee suburb, shows “our elected officials” need to “do something.”

Why? What could elected officials have done to prevent an insane person driven with hatred from killing people?

“The music that comes from these bands is incredibly violent,” Mark Potok, a senior fellow of the SPLC, told The New York Times. “It talks about murdering Jews, black people, gay people and a whole host of other enemies.”

Oh sorta like rap music which talks about killing cops and beating your hoes.........

I'd suggest an IQ test for columnists.

Ones with IQs this low shouldn't be allowed to be published.

Jacob Sullum had this piece at Reason. He claims to be some sort of libertarian. Go figure.

I'm hoping this is satire.

Once the database is created, it can be regularly updated with the names of people who express views like Page's -- who talk about tyranny, hypocrisy, or a "sick society," for instance, or who quote inflammatory proclamations like this one, frequently seen on the T-shirts and signs of right-wing lunatics: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants."

That was, of course, Jefferson, a hard-core revolutionary if ever there was one. A list of people quoting Jefferson and so barred from obtaining firearms? This is a joke.

The underlying premise is that the state is empowered to deny firearms possession on the basis of a criterion of its choice. It isn't.

We have gone well beyond the situation you infer already. The “state” is criminal AT THIS POINT. Refute, if you will.

"They now have millions of rounds of 9mm and God knows what else, ..."

Yep! Keen observation. That "what else" is turning out to be this:

Multiple Waco events being prepped!
