Unfortunately, I feel that is their plan.
Do you realize that there is an 8yo Cub Scout on the DHS Terrorist Wastch List, which includes the no-fly list? (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/nyregion/14watchlist.html)

How about the 4yo boy who shares a name with someone on the no-fly list so it has caused him grief in being able to fly to see his grandmother? (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10725741/)

My point is that the no-fly list has LOTS of folks on it that are due to mistakes by the government. Many (MANY!) others who are on it without truly valid reasons.

I'm not aware of ANYONE NOT getting put on the list until AFTER "due course" through the judicial system.

Of course, the government is looking for ANY reason it can come up with to ban anyone it can from owning/possessing a firearm. As individuals who claim to honor and respect our 2A rights, we should be the absolutely LAST people to support such blatant assaults on our liberties.
