On Fox right now.

So as more information pours in on this meeting at the Senate, they are wanting to ban anyone who is on the No-fly List from purchasing guns. Just wanted to clarify what has been debated. I do not have a problem with keeping No-flyers from buying guns, it is kind of like keeping Felons from purchasing as well. As long as they decide not to go further with it. Unfortunately, I feel that is their plan.

So if you don't mind people on the No-fly list from purchasing guns would you care to explain to me how one ends up on the no-fly list? How one gets their name off of it if they're not there legitimately?

Remember, Ted Kennedy found himself bumped from a flight because he was on the no-fly list.


This is the same government who's Department of Homeland Security released a booklet detailing how gun owners, "constitutionalists" ,returning war veterans and tax protesters are "potential terrorists".

All they need to do is get their hands on a copy of the NRA member list and BAM we're all "prohibited persons" overnight.


Hell, as for keeping felons from buying guns ... I think you'd be amazed what minor crimes (and things you'd never think were crimes) are classified as felonies. I think you'd be amazed what innocent things you've done that could easily be construed into a felony.

Gun? Heck, I would have been more afraid of selling him a CAR!

The more I think about the no-fly list, the more I'm disturbed by it. What is it exactly?

If you've committed a crime that makes the US not trust you to fly, then you shouldn't be allowed in the country anymore, or should be in prison right? I kind of view it the same way I feel about felons not having their full rights. If you're not in jail, then you should have your full rights. Is the no-fly list supposed to prevent another 9/11? Is it supposed to stop people from fleeing? What is the purpose exactly?

[Elhuero]

It's a list of people who the govt doesn't trust to not be terrorists and try and hijack the flight they're on.

Very McCarthyish.

But then so is the patriot act.

However, all the outrage and complaint from the left over patriot ended the day Obama was elected. In one evening it went from a tool of a fascist dummkoph to an important part of keeping us safe.

Don't forget Domestic Violence either. All it takes is a call. Felony convictions at least require evidence...

As you may have noticed in my post, I mentioned if they didnt find a way to take it any further. I agree that the way things have been going, they will find a way to get a whole bunch of us on no fly lists. For now, I have not had any problems flying.
