That extremist gun lobby
They oppose a bill allowing the attorney general to prohibit the sale of arms to those on terror watch lists. Those fanatical zealots will stop at nothing . . . oh, that’s the ACLU that might oppose that? Well, never mind:
As we’ve discovered often during the past few years, a suspect does not necessarily a terrorist make. And as we’ve discovered recently from the FBI’s overzealous issuance of “national security letters,” such powers have a natural tendency to be abused. Literally anyone could end up on such a secret list.
Yeah, novel concept of due process and all of that.
Puttin’ on my tinfoil beanie: Ya know, this site is critical of government bloat and its increasing infringement on civil liberties. And the feds have been to my house. I wonder if I’m on any sort of list?
Update: insty asks if the ACLU has opposed this? Anyone know?
