American citizens are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Immigrants, I don't care if there not a citizen.

if someone is suspected of terrorism arrest them and put them before a jury. I'm pretty sure it s not going to work out well for them if there is any evidence at all.
Of course I don't want terrorists to have guns but the only way to allegedly accomplish it would be universal background checks and universal registration. |

If they are suspected of terrorism they should have their day in court and be proven to be a terrorist or not. Then go from there.

First off the question is worded like some leftist slanted media poll designed to get a particular response.
It's not a "terrorist watch list" it's the "no fly list" they are talking about. The two terms evoke different levels of emotional response in the under-informed masses. So we aren't even talking about suspected terrorists at all. Weather or not someone should be "allowed" by the government is also framing the question incorrectly. Should they be prohibited is the better way to put it. Laws aren't written to allow us to do things, they prohibit you from doing certain things. By saying allow makes it seem like you are telling them "go ahead, it's ok". The correct question would be: "Should the Government prohibit people on the no fly list from purchasing or possessing firearms?" I added possessing too, because if you are prohibited from purchasing then you are prohibited from possessing them too. This means if you already have them, they will be coming to take them away. Now the idea that the government should be able to deny anyone a fundamental individual right by the mere fact that their name (or similar derivation of it in the case of Ted Kennedy) appears on a secret list that nobody can tell you how someone gets placed on it, who is actually on it, and no process to get your name off of it, should be completely abhorrent to any freedom loving person with more that two functioning brain cells to rub together. Of course they word the question in the media though like the OP to play on emotions and mislead the idiots out there to get their desired goal. And they will paint the NRA as supporting the arming of terrorists when they oppose this. It's how the left always frames the debate. Saddly all too many her are dumb enough to fall for it. ![]() Freedom will die at the sound of thunderous applause. |

Question, when being put on this "list" do you get a trial? I mean is there any due process to this removal of constitutional rights? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Question, when being put on this "list" do you get a trial? I mean is there any due process to this removal of constitutional rights? You get something like a trial. You ask why/to be removed. A judge listens to what you have to say. FBI says they cannot say why you're on the list because "national security"/"state secrets". And the judge either says that's not good enough or tells you to bend over and just take it. The current proposal (scroll down to or search for SA 2910) was sponsored by Diane Feinstein, who actually does have a history of being a National Security hawk but of course has a history of hating YOUR guns while she carries. ``If the person is subject to a
disability under section 922(g)(10) of this title, any information which the Attorney General relied on for this determination may be withheld from the applicant if the Attorney General determines that disclosure of the information would likely compromise national security. In responding to the petition, the United States may submit, and the court may rely upon, summaries or redacted versions of documents containing information the disclosure of which the Attorney General has determined would likely compromise national security.''. The bill really makes no damn sense at all. It actually requires the AG to notify the person, also known as tipping the terrorist off, before they can be denied a firearm purchase. Then you'd have a max of 60 days to petition a court to reverse the determination. |

While O has been saying it's the "no fly list" (which people see as scarier), the actual scope of the legislation proposed is anyone the AG thinks should be blocked from buying a gun. You know, under "reasonable" and "appropriate" conditions. The "no fly" list is a subset of the larger Known and Suspected Terrorists database.

Suspected is not the same as guilty. ANYONE could be suspected and that is the problem.

Seriously?! This many in a gun forum are voting 'no'?!
We are doomed as a nation... If you are a terrorist, you should be arrested. If you are a suspected terrorist, you should get your day in court, and either rot in jail for the rest of your life or be free to live with the rights of a US citizen, depending on what that pesky jury of your peers votes on. Whatever happened to my Nation.... ![]() Edit: To those voting 'no': Should they be prevented from speaking/authoring any rhetoric deemed dangerous? Should they be prevented from practicing their religion of choice? Should police be able to search their person or home without a warrant? WTF?! |

If a person is on the No Fly List or some terrorist watch list, and it is enough of a concern to deny them a Constitutional right, why not just remove them from the country instead?
But no, liberals want to go after all of us, remove our ability to defend ourselves and fail to protect us by keeping the 'dangerous' people living in our communities. |

The only other requirement would be NOTIFYING the suspected terrorist that they are going to be denied their next firearm purchase because the government thinks they're a terrorist. They literally want to tell terrorists "You better act fast, because we've got our eye on you. Wake up, Mr. Sleeper." |

Based on the training every Federal police officer and many state and local police officer in America has attended, here are characteristics that qualify you to be suspected of being a terrorist.

I may get a good flaming for this but here goes:
I think that any American citizen who wants a gun, even a felon, ought to be able to get one. Felons pay their debt to society and if the prison and justice system feel they are ready to be released then they should get back ALL of their freedoms. Now, I'm not saying that a pedophile should live next to an elementary school or a certifiable nut should buy a glock ... I'm saying that people who have gone to prison and done their time should be given their freedom back all the way. Unless you're a USA citizen ... fuck off. You don't buy a gun in America unless you're American. And anyone can be added to that list. My wife, because of being born Irish and having a weird name, caught shit all the time while flying and would miss flights left and right due to red tape. She flies a lot due to her job and it was a nightmare. It took us YEARS to rectify it so she could fly without the hassle. |
