Guess it doesn't matter that there is still no due process involved before denying rights....

Would not be the first unconstitutional law passed by the MD GA

Who said it's going to be passed?

Fight it.

You do remember what state you live in, don't you?

I live in a state of cautious optimism, where people stand up for themselves.

Unfortunately, I am located in MD.

I'm more like cynical optimism but still in the PRM.

See ya in 'NapTown when this pig gets a hearing!

And shortly after some BS like this passes, the terror watch list gets expanded by some liberal mindset definition to include extreme forums that promote violent activities such as... MDS... :sad20:

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Mike or Mike or a few of their sock puppets were to "accidentally" wind up on the No Fly List? :evilgrin3

Wonder what it takes to get on that list....

I think you've hit on what a large part of the motivation these people have is, not just on a state but also on the national level. Quite a way to shut those pesky conservatives who like their guns up on the internet. And the internet is after all, where most political discussion occurs these days.

They don't even need to expand the definitions they use. Just the threat in the back of people's minds of voicing dissent and possibly winding up on a list no one (including the people who run it) seems to understand really how you get on or off of. That's enough to stifle a lot of the opposing voices.

Are we all to be placed on a terrorist watch list for exercising our other COTUS Rights as well? :tdown:

It wouldn't matter. They don't own guns. They have armed body guards and MSP details to keep them safe.

A pulse and some bad luck.

Folks - just a callout on this one - the MGA is playing games of some kind. This bill was originally scheduled for 15MAR in House Judiciary. Sometime this afternoon, the schedule was changed to 26FEB; guess this one is important to the MGA leadership...

Give him this name. "Mike Miller"

dtmeyers · Feb 12, 2016

So I am drafting an email to send to the list... how does this sound?

XYZ,
You are a sponsor on HB1000 which would prohibit a person on FBI's Terrorist Watchlist from purchasing a firearm. As you may or may not know Muslim Americans and those person from the Middle East are disproportionately represented on the Watchlist.

I have known many Muslim Americans in my life and all were peaceful, lab abiding citizens.

I am asking why you are a sponsor on a bill that unfairly targets Muslim and Middle Eastern American solely on their religion and birthplace.

Thank you
DTM

This one needs to be stopped.

Just a footnote, when Ted Kennedy wound up on the no fly list, ostensibly by mistake, it took them three weeks to get him off of it. And he was Ted Freakin' Kennedy. A sitting United States Senator and one of the most powerful men in the government (although probably not one of the best drivers).

How long do you think it would take one of us lowly working citizens to get such an error fixed.
