Pretty soon being a "terror suspect" is going to be the same as being a "communists sympathizer" from the 50s and 60s. Meaning everyone is going to suspect everyone and something as little as sneezing at the wrong time will make you one. In that sense, I agree with the NRA because it's possible in the future that 99% of "terror suspects" will have nothing to do with terrorism and are just victims of circumstance.

I agree with Raven, while it may sound like a great idea giving the government control or things like this is a sticky situation. Depending on how much control they are given you could become a 'terror suspect' for any amount of things.

I am for just not allowing anyone from the middle-east to own a gun, that would help me sleep better a night.

Good, because that bill is absolutely pointless.

1. Our justice system works on the presmise if innocent until proven guilty. A suspect is not a convict.

2. Those terrorist watch lists are bullshit. They can put anyone they want on that. Hell, you or I could be on it right now for something we've said online in a debate before.

3. THEY'RE ****ING TERRORISTS!! Those ******* hijacked two planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of people. If they even decided to use guns in another attack, some silly little law isn't going to stop them from doing it.

This is just another bullshit security measure that is doing nothing to make us safer and everything to further restrict our rights.

Yeah at first I thought, Wow, i actually dont support the NRA for once. But then I read it. They want to ban guns from people who prolly haven't done anything.

For example the kid who designed a video game and used his school as a layout. He was arrested as being a Suspected Terrorist. So he shouldnt get a gun??
