Among Democrats.. I have learned by watching in here, that some people are willing to ignore all the bad things in legislation if it is called "common sense" or "it's for the children".

This is some very scary stuff people, what they are saying is, if YOUR, on that secret list, you can be denied a civil liberty...

If they can do it for the 2nd Amendment, they can do it for others, for example, the 8th Amendment..

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

As I have said, our president, and many in our party have absolutely no problem, using secret lists to deny civil liberties... For me this is extremely scary, and only something I would expect a Repuke to pull. This could very easily turn into a free to "torture list"....
