NRA chief lobbyist Chris Cox responded to allegations that those who support the Second Amendment apparently support terrorism with a noteworthy column in the Washington Post on May 10. There is a real and present danger of this tool being used for all the wrong reasons -- none of which has to do with homeland defense and fighting terrorism.
Cox correctly identifies New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as the new McCarthy in his column, which is worth the read.
There's probably a decent chance that I may have found my way onto this list already. If advocating for our Second Amendment rights is all it takes, then I don't know how they could have missed me. I guess I'll find out by how they treat me at the airport when I fly to Jamaica next week. (I'm not looking forward to flying unarmed to a country in the midst of civil unrest, but I have to go--it's not a vacation).
"those who support the Second Amendment apparently support terrorism"
I say: Those who are against the 2nd Amendment are the terrorist and they are the ones who support terrorism.
“The broad principle that there is an individual right to bear arms is shared by many Americans, including myself. I'm of the view that you can't take a broad approach to other rights, such as First Amendment rights, and then interpret the Second Amendment so narrowly that it could fit in a thimble.”
-Senator Charles Schumer, D-NY, 2002-May-8
We can't even keep terrorists from boarding our planes. The only thing that's saved us twice is their agents are too stupid to make a bomb that goes off. Obama refuses to even use the word terrorist or Islamic radical, but he is committed to giving them health care. I bet anything the government screws this gun list up.
I left out the word agree in the fourth paragraph. It should have read "I would hope that we all would agree that to say the use of terror could be described as the use of violence to incite fear (Terror) to coerce a certain population to submit to given demands."
The last article; the one by Dennis A. Henigan from the
Brady Center Vice President and Author of "Lethal Logic" is completely lacking in logic. Unless of course, one starts with a false premise and builds with false hypootheticals, ridiculous 'could have' and "no doubt ready for use" (my personal favorite in the nonsensical diatribe against the ownership of guns.
He does not mention the fact that the gun was not used by said terrorist in the commission of his crime, But HE COULD HAVE.
Gun control has worked so well that in the UK where guns are gone, a taxi driver went on a rampage See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/02/AR201006.... How could this happen in a gun free country?
Let's define terrorism. That is a problem because there are many in the International Community who have no desire to have a set definition. A fluid definition allows it to mean whatever the person speaking wants it to mean.That being said there are many definitions of terrorism that one can find on the internet.
I would hope that we all would that to say the use of terror could be described as the use of violence to incite fear (Terror) to coerce a certain population to submit to given demands.
Gun grabbing by any government is in itself a form of terrorism.There are coercive threats made to innocent individuals who have committed no crime, forcing them to surrender their weapons, leaving them defenseless from any kind of physical attack.It forces citizens to live in terror of criminals who brazenly do whatever they want in the intervening time between the phone call and the arrival of the police. In the larger metro areas that can be hours.
So anyone who supports the removal of the Second Amendment is in fact a supporter of terrorism.

Bravo to Chris Cox on his Letter to the Editor.
Anti 2A people are always looking for a reason to come out of the closet.

If someone wants to live in a firearm free environment then they need to move to England, or better yet China. Enjoy you freedoms there.
the wrong people are on the list,its the people making the list that need to be on the list.
