Federal "Terrorist" Legislation Targets ... Gun Owners!
June 24, 2009
Suprise! Now that republican neo cons have removed all checks and balances on federal power in the name of the "War on Terror," gun owners learn the new Obama administration is taking advantage of the new powers to come after them. |
Washington, D.C. — Currently before the House Judiciary Committee, "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," Fox News reported.
Who could argue about denying arms to terrorist? No one. Yet, with this bill, the devil’s in the details.
"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."
In effect, any group or people who someone might want to label as "extremist" or "anti."
"It doesn't say anything about trials and due process," Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, told Fox News. "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.’" Read more
Rahm Emanuel, right-hand man to Obama, tells in chilling detail how gun owners are to be first mischaracterized as "terrorists" and then disarmed: "If you are known as maybe a possible terrorist you cannot buy a handgun in America."
