The NRA believes that terrorists should not be allowed to purchase or possess firearms, period. Anyone on a terror watchlist who tries to buy a gun should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI and the sale delayed while the investigation is ongoing. If an investigation uncovers evidence of terrorist activity or involvement, the government should be allowed to immediately go to court, block the sale, and arrest the terrorist. At the same time, due process protections should be put in place that allow law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a watchlist to be removed.

see the pink ? sale delayed while the investigation is ongoing.
What I find hilarious, sickening really, is some of the SAME people who want all these people put on some sort of watch list and denide the right to but a gun, are the SAME ones who are against our gov't monitoring our phone calls, email, etc.

Hypocrisy at its finest!

This seems very dishonest answer. It's one thing to claim police have no legal obligation to prevent crime (That isn't how our system is organized. Police are supposed to solve crimes.) But to suggest that the typical police officer doesn't routinely put his life on the line to assist others is a reprehensible assertion. If citizenship could be revoked, you would be my suggested first case.

Not me. But yeah, I agree with you. Have to be vigilant.

I mentioned it in another thread, Some folks have been talking about common sense gun law for years, but there are no common sense immigration law? I found it sickening as well. :O

He didn't say that. The court said that many times. Police have no duty to protect any individual.

You are 2nd on the list for revoked citizenship. Police routinely put their lives on the line to prevent crime. It doesn't matter what the courts say.

Then why do you want to revoke the rights of folks from the watch list(s)?

I'm pretty sure he never claimed they don't do that, only that they are not obligated/required to.

I think it's kind of par for the course for the CD forums. You'll get some reasonable people that are willing to evaluate the evidence and -- gasp -- change their minds about something.

And there are others that only enjoy proving other people wrong, even if it's only one thing they can pick apart.

And others still come in so entrenched with their position that they can only spew insults through their own arrogance. If someone comes in trying to demonize those that don't agree with their opinions, they've already lost.

p.s. only a child-killing jerk would disagree with this post.
