Greenwald: People on watch list have a right to get guns. Democrats suck for thinking otherwise.

A couple of young Arab men go to the airport to board their flight back to the Middle East and are turned away because they are on the "no fly" list. So, since they're stuck in the U.S., they decide to blend in with the culture and head off to a gun shop to buy themselves AK-47s. (They were going to stop at the drugstore to buy cough syrup, but it was too much of a hassle so they opted for guns instead.) After picking up the weapons, they decided to emulate the open carry people carting weapons around Walmart and, with guns hanging from their shoulders, they head into the grocery store to pick up a few things. You and your kids are in the cereal aisle deciding whether to buy Trix or real food when the heavily-armed pair strolls past the granola display. What goes through your mind? This is the conundrum we face in this country. Guns, guns everywhere and no way to identify those who are strutting their stuff and showing off from those who are going to open fire on shoppers in a grocery store. Greenwald is concerned about the rights of people on the watch list, but doesn't seem to give a hoot about the rights of average citizens to go about their daily business without fearing for their lives.
