There you go.

  1. Make it illegal for people on watch list to own guns
  2. Add everyone to watch list.

Liberal problem solving 101.

I can't believe the general populace doesn't see the forest for the trees:

  1. The government can claim you are a terrorist with no proof and deny you basic civil liberties
  2. The government can claim you are a threat and remove your ability to fly; now arguing this arbitrary classification is enough to strip civil liberties.
  3. The government can compel you to go to a government doctor who can claim you are a threat and remove civil liberties.
  4. The government uses data compiled by a for-profit, revolving-door policy organization to push for mandated vaccinations and health procedures, and refusal can essentially make you a threat - see above.
  5. The government is legally able to lie to you in order to get a confession, further information, or really anything it wants - lying to the government is a felony for non-government people
  6. The government is under no legal obligation to not dragnet surveil everything and everyone, regardless of legality.
  7. The government is allowed to completely and utterly use mass media to push pro-war, military grade propaganda disguised as honest 'news.'
  8. The government is excluded from most laws the people it should be composed of and for are beholden to (insider trading and health care)

If rights are going to be restricted from citizens based on the fact that the government put them on a watchlist, then citizens have a right to due process before the government puts them on a watchlist.

In the past, civil wars were fought for less. Just sayin'

Severely developmentally disabled populace. Low IQ's, conditioned by endless misinformation.

This is sensible on the surface. But how difficult is it to get on a watchlist? You don't have to actually be guilty of anything.

It means they will be able to disarm anyone who doesn't conform in the ways they want.

But lets face it - at this point the Constitution is just a piece of toilet paper to all of these politicians on both sides of the aisle.

We say it's insane for a traitor like you to have been elected in the first fucking place.

CarbideSHRP

Insane but that is the bait and switch. Rallying against muslim violence is not PC, so we must blame.... the guns.

respondwithdata

More like when they admit it is terrorism, it means our wars haven't protected us after all.

It's insane that a paid for Monsanto/Goldman Sachs shill gets to be president and have a media presence. THAT'S insane.

the public has a vested interest on me not having an A-4 carbine, or having a pistol in my vehicle. but they also have a vested interest in supplying me with an M-4 or an A-4 carbine if the nation is being attacked.

Why are you a psyco or something? Because if your a law abiding person you point make no sense.

shell shocked. i feel far too comforted with a rifle, and i startle too easily.

It's almost as if he own stock in Smith & Wesson.

WTF?!

MILLIONS of Americans on watchlists?! Forget the gun part - that's a sizeable % of the population!

We're only 300 million all in all, including the children and elderly (and women, which I'm sure aren't as represented on the list)

Is it OK that 3-10% of the population is on watchlists?! WTF?!

You know what's insane? The implication that as much as 10% of the population is on a watchlist that the government finds "dangerous" is insane.

un1ty

That's every liberty minded individual in the country, seeing as how the Constitution legally allows the re-institution of a new government when this one gets bloated and evil.

JerseyWabbit

The issue isn't gun control, the issue is Muslim terrorists. Obama is distracting from the real problem, firing up the left with an unrelated agenda.

crusade

Using muslim terror for anti-White causes, sounds par for the course.

goatboy

What's insane is that anyone still listens to this irrelevant puppet asshole.

Weebo

Syed Farook and Tashfeen Mailk were not on any watch list.

escapefromredditbay

those watchlists shouldn't even exist in the first place, even the people who stand by them are prolly on a few that could really screw them over.
