[quote=@mdk] Considering a good friend of mine -- an active-duty Air Force pilot currently commanding a flight school unit -- is somehow on the terrorist watch list -- I don't have a lot of faith in whoever's putting all that together and running it. Heck maybe they'll clean up their act, and maybe someday the watch list will run as smoothly as healthcare.gov. Or put it to you this way: let's say Donald Trump gets to decide who's on the terrorist watch list. Does that sound like a law that can coexist with the bill of rights as we know it? More to the point -- it's a stupid feel-good law. We're talking about [i]terrorists[/i] right? If they're terrorists, [i]in what way is this supposed to do one goddamn thing to stop them?[/i] I can't fathom how, after being at war against terrorism for [b]fifteen years[/b], anybody in this country still honestly believes that a piece of paper is gonna prevent a terror attack. Okay maybe some people are scared, I mean it's called TERROR after all, that's to be expected, and in reaction to that fear certain irrational (temporary) beliefs are bound to arise. But the people in leadership, the people actually writing the bill and organizing the sit-in? They know exactly what they're doing. It's not a bill at all, it's a political circus. Shit they're not even committed, "No bill no break" didn't even last 24 hours. It's a joke, and if it goes through it'll be abused, and everybody knows it -- but we're choosing not to care, because this time it's only gonna affect gun owners, not iPhone owners, so what's the big deal right? TL:DR -- it's a stunt. Anything it is, more than that, is harmful to pretty much every kind of freedom we enjoy, so let's just not. [/quote] Okay so what do you feel about the majority of conservatives that are in favor of the bill? Should the no flying list be repealed as well considering it affects all people across the board? Should the no flying list be repealed due it's far increasing relevance to people's well-being and freedom to travel? Do you find the republican house not representing bipartisan support for gun regulation undemocratic?
