Next step? No guns allowed for right wing 'extremists'

[Gunco]

A new gun law being considered in Congress, if aligned with Department of Homeland Security memos labeling everyday Americans as potential "threats," could potentially deny firearms to pro lifers, gun rights advocates, tax protesters, animal rights activists, and a host of others -- any already on the expansive DHS watch list for potential "extremism."

(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that— (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.


How long do you think it would take for Holder to determine shooting to be "dangerous" to human life? Remember, you only would need to be suspected of terrorism or suspected of the preparation to commit terrorism.

Of course the regular geniuses are behind this nonsense:

Mr. KING (NY), Mr. RANGEL (NY), Mr. CASTLE (DE), Mrs. MCCARTHY (NY), Mr. KIRK (IL), Mr. MORAN (VA), and Mr. SMITH (NJ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

S. 1237 and H.R. 2074 were essentially the same bill. Neither of those were even referred to committee.

IMO, this bill, while bearing watching, will languish in the House Committee on the Judiciary and never be brought to a vote. It grants too many broad, unconstitutional powers to the DOJ.
