Anyone read information on the statement by Bloomberg?

"Mayor Bloomberg of New York City is in favor of a new law that would ban people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns. While this may seem a good idea, some senators see a slippery slope, including GOP Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina ."

A slippery slope? To what?

The Mayor advocates taking away "life, liberty or property without due process of law" which is wrong, and unconstitutional.

There is no slope. It's a drop-off.

I am guessing this would create a new under ground market for private sales. Yet this market is still legal it may give them another reason to try to close it down. The ATF has been doing alot of illegal stuff at gun shows. Lets hope they don't get any more brite ideas. Cheers

Oh yeah, that's great. Any "right-wing extremist" (aka Veterans) won't be able to buy firearms. -_-

If that happened, I do indeed believe that a march on Washington would happen. Peaceful, of course. ;)

...don't forget they are including us non veterans who don't like the D's or the R's....(we are radicals's) , Although I believe if you run around smashing windows in Seattle in a WTO riot you are ok.

I was absolutely heated when I found out that Veterans were being tacked into that list. I have my Batallion's American flag tacked up in my living room (yeah, I'm one of those guys) and they think I'm a threat? Please, I love my country. I just want to shoot my guns and be left alone. Simple as that.

Well of course you are a threat you believe and took an oath to protect and fight for the constitution. I agree though it is very very sad, that they would go on the attack against our veterans this way.

We hear certain folks scream about "McCaurthyism" ( a myth drummed up by certain elements in our society.)

Yet then they create a list of for lack of a better word of'enemies'. HYPOCRITES!!!!!

It is apparent with the way that the latest terrorist was allowed on the flight even though he was on the list that the list seems to be flawed--not to mention the thousands of innocent people that are on the list and are unable to get off the list.

I often wonder why the old neighborhood I lived in (primarily middle eastern) had so many fathers that were "away" for six months at a time. That would be racial profiling on my part to even question why that oddity is taking place.

The biggest flaw in that mess was "we" do not make the initial checks against the No-Fly List, we depend on the airlines to do it, and in this case it was a SAUDI airline...

+1 and QFT. I don't think there's a snow ball's chance in hell this could possible survive a SCOTUS challenge. This' doesn't just violate the 2nd amendment, but also 4th, 5th, 10th, 14th off the top of my head... I think the Mayor is just going for the high score.:lol:
