I think it’s time to secretly whisk NYT Editorialists away to secret courts and condemn them to punishments that we won’t tell what they are, until the punishment is executed.

I mean, if we’re gonna go full-on STASI, let’s go all the way.

Of Course. Why wasn’t the no-buy rule thought of before? Because you know, gang-bangers can’t buy firearms in Chicago because it’s illegal.

Then they should also have a secret court to remove publishing rights from any reporter deemed to be “stirring the citizenry” with anti-constitutional clap-trap such as this BS!

I’m pretty sure that terrorists are more interested in the selection available rather than the prices.

So the way to stop muslim terrorism is to take away the Second Amendment rights of US citizens. Sounds about right coming from them.

Bravo! Anyone still doubt a President Hillary would be a tyrannical dictator? Secret courts to deprive people selectively of liberty. In America. From a lawyer and scholar. Anyone else see a way forward that is not a sea of blood?

If Congress did that would be the end of the current Congress. Civil War, and the communists left, most of the MSM, and Hollywood types would experience total destruction.

So, you think this isn’t a problem because GOP controls both houses?

Think about that before you decided not to vote this November.

"The piece is written by Adam Winkler, a U.C.L.A. School of Law professor. Winkler argues the secret court is a good idea because the same kind of court is already used for government surveillance, and historically, the U.S. has committed worse rights violations such as Japanese internment camps."

Historically, the U.S. has committed worse massacres including the one at Wounded Knee South Dakota in 1890. (Which was much larger, as Rush noted today.) So Orlando would be okay, according to the New York Times way of thinking?

Omar Mateen was a FL licensed security officer. Believing that any of the leftists' proposals would have prevented this massacre is magical thinking.

“In 2013 I published a follow-up called EXTORTION, which argued that members of Congress from both parties were in the habit of ‘extorting’ campaign contributions and other favors from businesses and out side groups. Money flowing into politics was not just about outside interests trying to ‘bribe’ politicians; politicians were knowing putting outside interests in a position where they had to buy ‘protection’ from them. I also released to the public for the first time the ‘party dues’ lists whereby politicians were required to pay a certain amount of money to their party in order to obtain seats on certain congressional committees. The more important the committee, the more you were expected to pay. I further explained how politicians from both parties were using leadership PACs to feather their own nests, tapping those funds to pay for things that enhanced their own lifestyles”....Clinton Cash page 4

A New York Times editorial advocates for a new law allowing a secret court to take away citizens' right to own a gun at the discretion of the federal government.

Cold dead hands...

That just postpones things. The Rats will just slink out of DC while Trump is there knowing their comrades in the MSM prepare the way for them to return.
