In the wake of San Bernardino & Orlando, some have called for prohibiting those on the terror watch list from being able to buy firearms:
To begin with, Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun. What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semi-automatic weapon? This is a matter of national security.
Democrats held a historic 25 hour long sit in, demanding this very thing.
They are still allowed to go to nightclubs
schools
the mall
sporting events
playgrounds
These dangerous people are free to live their lives and strike at anytime and potentially anywhere.
Should we be tapping their phones?
Their email accounts?
Plant cameras in their homes?
Follow them wherever they go?
No.
Aside from the enormous cost, it is simply impractical given the number of people who are currently on the these secret lists.
According to CNN, in 2012 there were over 21,000 people on it.
There is a simpler way.
If someone is on a terror watch, if they are clearly too dangerous to fly on a commercial airplane or buy a firearm...
then they are too dangerous to live.
Call your representative at 1-866-808-0065 and tell them, due process be damned, you demand that anyone placed on the terror watch list be summarily executed in the name of public safety and national security.
We simply do not have the prison space to incarcerate them all, nor do our courts have enough judges or rooms to perform trials.
Who cares if it's mostly Muslims on the list?
Who cares if the majority of people probably will never do anything wrong?
Who cares that they are being denied due process.
Surveilling and or jailing all of these potentially violent persons is too expensive...
Civil rights be damned.
