Another anti-gun bill from the anti-gun extremists by David S
(libertarian)
Saturday, May 9, 2009
HR 2159 is another bill from the anti-gun extremists. It says;
"The Attorney General may deny the transfer of a firearm pursuant to section 922(t)(1)(B)(ii) if the Attorney General determines that the transferee is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the prospective transferee may use a firearm in connection with terrorism."
In other words if the Attorney General suspects that you are a terrorist then he can deny you the right to buy a gun. There is no trial and no due process of law. So not only does this bill violate the second amendment, it also violates the fifth and sixth amendments.
The author of this bill and the cosponsors all took an oath to support the constitution. And yet here they are happily proposing to violate it left and right. In my opinion that should be ample reason for removing them from office.
But there are other troubling aspects to this bill. If second amendment rights can be removed in this manner what about other rights. Could your first amendment right of free speech be revoked because you might be using it to conspire with others to commit acts of terrorism? Could your fourth amendment right to privacy be taken because you might have something dangerous on your person or your property?
This bill stinks to high heaven. All Americans should contact their representatives and tell them this bill must not pass.

Please take a moment to read over and sign this petition to stop the passage of HR 2159 Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009. This is a direct violation of our 1st, 2nd, and 5th amendments to the Constitution. Please spread the word so we can stop this bill from passing.
Actually, the hate-speech legislation is the one that will destroy your remaining 1st Ammendment liberties. If your speech is the type that the 1st ammendment was supposed to protect: i.e., unruly, uncomfortable, and rabble-rousing, then it will be illegal to exercise that privilige. I say privilige beceause if you ask permission to exercise your "rights" then that's what they are. Rights are taken, priviliges are granted to slaves by their masters. Rights are for free people who refuse to bow to tyranny upon pain of death. Under this definition, how many rights do you have? In other words, how many are important enough for you to die for? This is what we military personnel swore to protect. All of them. With our lives. Of course, once we're out, we're then considered the top domestic terrorist threat. What a wacked out world we live in. Home of the free, land of the brave, my ass.
Let them go ahead and try some crap like this. The American people WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. Hell, I DARE them to try. These LEFT WING NUT JOBS ARE OUT OF CONTROL!!!! I wish the sponsors of crap bills like this were the ones charged with the dutie of going door to door and collecting all the fire arms... I'd be interested to see how that worked out for them... better stock up on kevlar.
