Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009

[nawainwright]

It always starts as something that SOUNDS reasonable. But with the recent "potential terrorist" lists that Homeland Security seems fond of coming up with. It amazes me how in the name of harming the "few" the establishment feels it needs to harm EVERYONE. Introduced by a Republican from NY. It may have already made it up here, but wanted to point it out.

Note that the NRA is failing to take a position on this bill.

The National Rifle Association, the nation's largest pro-gun lobby, said it was still reviewing King's bill, but a spokesman said the organization had opposed similar efforts "in the past due to the serious inaccuracies within the terror lists that affect the rights of law abiding citizens."

"Republicans" like King, Lugar and others want to see the people disarmed as much as the Democrats do. Most in Washington are about totalitarian national government, the parties are a distraction. There is nothing republican about the "Republican" Party.

BINGO. Hit that nail on the head. These bozos in office - the Government as a whole who sit in Washington - want nothing more than to turn us into NATO & UN sheep so they can sit back and enjoy the free ride until they die.

This is scary!!

The Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009 would authorize Attorney General Eric Holder to deny the sale or transfer of firearms to known or suspected terrorists -- a list that could extend beyond groups such as radical Islamists and other groups connected to international terror organizations.

Critics say the names of suspected terrorists could be drawn from existing government watch lists that cover such broad categories as animal rights extremists, Christian identity extremists, black separatists, anti-abortion extremists, anti-immigration extremists and anti-technology extremists.

Lets not forget gun enthusiasts, proponents of smaller-government, and returning veterans! Maybe even someone extreme enough to have a "Don't Tread on Me" bumper sticker. Does that include anyone here?

"It doesn't say anything about trials and due process," said Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America. "This is one of the most outrageous pieces of legislation to come along in some time. It's basically saying, 'I suspect you, so your rights are toast.'"

This should outrage everyone here! Its a move straight out of Totalitarianism For Dummies!!!

Terrorist watch lists came under fire last month after a Department of Homeland Security report warned that right wing extremist groups may be expanding their membership in the midst of current economic upheaval. While the report stated that such groups were not believed to be planning any terrorist attacks, it went on to state they might do so in the name of issues like abortion, immigration and gun control.

Obama named basically every conservative principle in his terrorist watch list. Anyone who doesn't support His Highness is a suspected terrorist.

"Common-sense laws that protect us from terrorism must be put in place," King said in his statement. "Our role in Congress is to create laws that protect the American people, not to uphold those that give terrorists the right to bear arms."

That's well and great, but while Obama bumps elbows with the likes of Hugo Chavez and pardons the Guantanamo Bay terrorists, he points out the real enemies are the citizens in his own country that did not vote for him. Citizens, whose rights are supposedly not to be infringed.

The National Rifle Association, the nation's largest pro-gun lobby, said it was still reviewing King's bill, but a spokesman said the organization had opposed similar efforts "in the past due to the serious inaccuracies within the terror lists that affect the rights of law abiding citizens."

The American Legion, the largest veterans group in the country, harshly criticized DHS officials last month after they reported that veterans would be likely recruits for right wing groups looking for "combat skills and experience."

But when contacted Tuesday, a Legion spokesman said the group had no intention of fighting King's gun control bill.

"I don't see anything in the bill we'd be concerned about. It all seems pretty logical," the spokesman said.

Our next move should be to not only contact every legislator possible, but also get in touch with the NRA and American Legion and make sure they know we are concerned as well.

People need to read this.

Wow the guberment will stop at nothing to take this from us.

Um, so terrorists by their firearms and ammunitions legally? This one is not even disguised. Their agenda is pretty clear.

The first question that came to my mind was about the dangerous terrorists. Does this mean that there is a class of terrorist other than dangerous?

Yes, there is a class of terrorists that is not dangerous. These terrorists are known as the "Obama Kitchen Cabinet"--e.g. William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, inter alia.

This is a especially vile bill whose motive, if not text, is copied from the Nazi weapon laws. Disgusting. The NRA should be all over this.

To me, they too are just as dangerous, when considered in the light of loss of liberty, just not in the sense of loss of life.
