Obama Proposes Taking Away Constitutional Rights Based on Browser History (Video)
AllOutdoor.com ^ | June 3, 2016 | Jon Stokes

This is not a clickbait headline. This is an actual, real thing that the president just proposed in the second half of this PBS Newshour video:

Starting at the 1:57 mark, Obama says:

I just came from a meeting, today, in the situation room, in which I’ve got people who we know have been on ISIL websites living here in the United States — US citizens. And we’re allowed to put them on the no fly list when it comes to airlines, but because of the National Rifle Association I cannot prohibit those people from buying guns!

This is somebody who is a known ISIL sympathizer, and if he wants to walk into a gun store or a gun show right now, and buy as many weapons and ammo as he can, nothing’s prohibiting him from doing that, even though the FBI knows who that person is.

In the Heller decision, the Supreme Court has recognized gun ownership as an individual constitutional right. You may not like it, but it’s settled case law at this point.

This means that Obama has just complained that he cannot restrict a citizen’s constitutional right based on the FBI’s (likely warrantless) knowledge of their browser history.

I could go on about the other problems with his reply to the gentleman who asked the question, like the fact that he opened with the oft-repeated falsehood that the same folks who have praised Australia’s gun confiscation as a model for the US nonetheless “don’t want to take away your guns.” But I’ll shut the rant down here because I can’t get over the cavalier attitude to civil liberties on the part of both the president and the public.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is how Obama earned the title of World’s Greatest Gun Salesman.

Everyone who believes that their constitutional rights are under threat from a government that does not respect the rule of law will have that belief confirmed by this video.

Obama lied you cannot be placed on the DNF list just because you’re an ISIL sympathizer. His friends on the left know this is true and know he is lying about it so as to make a moral equivalency to gun control.

If what he was saying was true then the ISIL sympathizer is being treated in an unconstitutional fashion. The governemt is not and should not be allowed to punish thought and speech.

If you are to dangerous to fly then you should be in jail not walking and living amongst us.

This is somebody who is a known ISIL sympathizer...

Hint: He has jug ears, an effeminate style, and his middle name is Hussein.

Yes, apparently the NRA has more power than the FBI, CIA and the white mosque. Who knew?

The simplest solution is to thoroughly vet all immigrants prior to granting them entry, residency and eventual citizenship. You know, the way we used to do it. Or, personally I prefer to ban Muslims entry to the US, deport the Muslims that are already here and then raze every mosque.

"...but because of the National Rifle Association I cannot prohibit those people from buying guns!"

"Because the Constitution and due process are no longer obstacles to me so the NRA is the only thing holding me back."

Makes me proud to be an NRA Life Member since 1986!

When the FBI of DHS puts you on a terrorist watch list, it’s over. How does the NRA block that?

"What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....? "

A libtard once said to me (superior tone of voice), "Can your popguns defeat tanks?"

My answer: "Maybe not, but without our popguns they don't need any tanks."
