(5,078 posts)The problem is that NO ONE KNOWS THE RULES for the watchlist. So, anyone can be put on it for any reason.
Its not just due process, its the f-ing secret government.
It would be the same as if they took away your right to visit a library or a sports facility if you were on the watchlist. How would you know, how would you contest it. The watchlist is NOT TRANSPARENT.
The problem is they are leveraging something that is inherently anti-democratic, opaque, and stinking of a police state. But, because guns are involved (and I am anti-2nd ammendment) all of the sudden this is a great idea?
Wake up, people. This is like the SCOTUS decision that Sotomayor just ripped. You think it is only going to be used for gun owners?
I and Donald Trump have a bridge to sell you.
