R-NY Peter King wants your Gun Rights taken away.

[Paslode]

HR 2159 - Sponsored by Peter King R-NY. This is just a wonderful piece of legislation under the guise of increasing public safety by permitting the Attorney General to deny the transfer of a firearm or the issuance of firearms or explosives licenses to a known or suspected dangerous terrorist.

There is No jury, No trial, it is no longer innocent until proven guilty. If I read this correctly this is about allowing the Attorney General to subjectively decide who is and who isn't deemed a terrorist. And considering the DHS and MIAC reports, Obama comments on the Tea parties and the HR 1913 Hate Crimes Bill it is not too far a stretch to imagine who will be labeled a terrorist and who's guns they are coming for......anyone who doesn't drink the O-Lade.

That there is a nice piece of work as well, it too leaves much to mis-interpretation.

I read about this on WorldNetDaily today

Potentially, anyone who is against higher taxes, illegal immigration, for the second ammendment, etc could be targeted.
