[quote=@mdk] 1. It being a stupid idea is totally non-partisan. 2. The list itself, and the authority governing it, should certainly be looked at. 3. Freedom to travel through the sky in a recliner is not an inalienable right. The NFL is an administrative policy, legally made and specifically focused towards a single lawful purpose. Recklessly extending it beyond its scope, especially as a litmus test by which to deny ANYBODY his or her constitutional rights, is fucking ridiculous. 4. Sure. We're a representative democracy. The reason we have a house and a senate in the first place, rather than being governed by polls, is so that they can stop the frightened masses from overreacting in the moment. They're doing exactly their job, and yes, their job is 'undemocratic' at the moment. That's a loaded word and a dirty question, but the answer is yes, they're SUPPOSED TO. We set it up that way because occasionally pure democracy gets behind stupid ideas like this one. [/quote] So you're against the will of the people then? Speaking of the house doing their job, the bill was fast-tracked when the democrats within the house wanted to debate the issue. Do you believe the house was doing it's job then too? What do you feel about the majority of conservatives in support of the small measures of gun regulation?
