Lawmakers Drafting Bill That Would Allow Social Media Checks Before Gun Purchase
CBS Radio ^ | 11/02/18

Posted on 11/04/2018 7:18:43 AM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

Two New York lawmakers are working to draft a bill that would propose a social media check before a gun purchase.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and state Sen. Kevin Palmer’s proposal would allow authorities to review three years of social media history and one year of internet search history of any person seeking to purchase a firearm....

The two are hoping to identify any hate speech on social media profiles, which are often revealed only after someone is arrested in a mass shooting.

What’s next? Checking voter registration to make you don’t belong to an unfavorable political party?

NY Daily News: “Parker said the bills would cover posts to the top four social media websites — Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter, and the main search engines, including Google, Yahoo and Bing.“

( They are all more than willing to hand over your info. )

Illegal bill of attainder.
Should be opposed by those sites precisely due to the financial losses incurred by users fleeing to competitors.

It’s not stupidity, it’s evil. These bastards know what they’re doing. They’re not preventing crime, and they know it. It’s all about harassing the peaceable citizens; trying to disarm We the People, a little bit at a time.

The issue is never the issue. The issue is always The Revolution.

They might start with the top four, but the rest will be added immediately after the next shooting.

This is thrown out at the first Federal Court it hits, even if it passes in NY.

What happens when you don’t have a social media presence?

No problem, a lefty will create one for you in your name.

I resemble that remark.

If you do not have an iPhag phone for them to search, another red flag. You are hiding something they need to find out about.

I’ll bet it wouldn’t be long before FR membership would be a flag to stop you from buying a gun.

I just checked my FR account. My real name isn't listed there. Someone would have to force entry into FR's secure database to find my email address, then force my email provider to give up my name to them.

Violating the 4th Amendment to such a degree would spark a backlash of epic proportions.

Liberals believe that if you want a gun to protect yourself from bad people, you are too paranoid to own one.

And just how long do they have review your private papers before they approve of your RKBA? I’m sure with 10,000 sales a month it will take only a couple of years.

A lot of the federal judges in New York are Obama or Clinton holdovers

“And it’s child’s play for me to create a FB or Twit account in someone ELSE’S name, and backdate entries if I wish, but it’s identity theft and I have no plans on committing a crime.”

This happened to me once. A woman on facebook, a real nutcase, tried to get me thrown out of a facebook group by creating a duplicate account in my name. Then sending herself a fake message from that phony account in which she has me insulting the group founder. She forwarded that message to the group founder. Fortunately he didnt take her word for it and let me defend myself and let me stay in the group. I reported her to facebook, but facebook refused to do anything about it. I appealed their decision and they still refused.

That foreign population in New York is full of plans for foreign government laws and policies, and it’s already established from the west coast to Colorado.

Clearly unconstitutional under both the first AND second amendments.

I wonder if they would deny permits to all Nation of Islam members who 'Liked" these comments by that islamo-nazi Farrakhan?

Or only those of us who comment negatively about LF are the "haters".
