Democrats push to prevent gun sales to those on terror list

53. Denial of a right without due process or even the ability to fight or appeal it is wrong. Period.

That doesn't matter what right you are talking about. The right to bear arms, the right to vote, the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.

Think about the ramifications of this before mindlessly supporting it because it sounds like a good idea. If the government can put you on a list for whatever reason it wants, with no due process, right to appeal, or even ability to defend yourself and then deny you a right that is explicitly enumerated in the bill of rights and has been held by SCOTUS to be an individual right- then the precident is there that they can do the same for any other right.

You may not agree that the Second Amendment enumerates and protects an individual right. But the law of the land is that it in fact does, so the effects of this are based on reality and the law as it is, not as you say it should be.

So, that means that the Second Amendment gets as much scrutiny and protection as any others, like the First and Fourth Amendments. Would you support granting the government the ability to deny those right just because they put you on a list that you can't appeal, defend yourself, or even know about?

Because that's the legal precident this would set if it was done and the courts upheld it.

Would you still say that back when Shrubby Boy was in the White House? Or if Trump or his ilk controlled who was on the list?
