I live here for my freedom and I accept that there are dangers here because of it. I don't want to live in a world of trying to prevent every little thing. And wondering if I even talk about it I will get arrested. If you do that you better give everyone in the USA a list of what they can and cannot say because the list is ambiguous at best. That is not freedom in my book. You start getting arrested before you actually do something? Sounds like other oppressive countries to me.
I had some things to do - had to get away from my puter, but CG brings up a good point here. Along with the discussion about how they are going to "infringe" further upon our constitutional rights- is a discussion about how to pass more laws to "stop these events before they happen". Now can you just imagine what kinds of things they might drum up- checking our medical records and all kinds of other things for reasons to deny us a gun purchase. Americans know these 1984 style tatics are next on the list- whih is why there is a big increase in gun purchases after every whacko incident.
Do you trust the government to take those next steps?- you are a fool if you do! Consider that if you are one of those individuals who has obtained a medical maryjawhana card- the CBI and FBI now catagorize you as ineligible to pass a background check - and you will not be able to buy a firearm. This is reality right now! If you have a card- just try to get a gun- you will be denied.
It's also impossible to get a clear background check if you have ever had a domestic violence incident- weather or not you have been charged- people are getting denied for the most minor offense these days. I see this as the next step- any antidepressants in your medical history? Any valium? Any Xanax? Any evidence of alcohol use?
Your out! This is the big brother government and he's here to protect you.
I consider a verbal argument between boyfriend and girlfriend minor- and even this can get you on the "unstable" list if the police were called. If you use medical marijuana- the government now considers you to be too "unstable" to own a firearm.
They deny applicants for these reasons everyday now- they do not issue firearms to dopeheads.

They weren't endowed with super powers. They weren't a super human race that vanished, never to be heard from again.
