Obama's Coming For Your Guns

Rahm Emmanuel, Obama's Chief of Staff, here speaking to the Brady Center, which has as its raison d'etre the ban of any civilian firearm ownership, about the need to press for a new Brady Bill.

No wonder firearms sales have increased to historic levels. Emmanuel claims that the first legislative test should be to offer a bill in Congress that states that anyone on the highly flawed, completely arbitrary, government "terrorist no-fly list" should be banned from owning a firearm by federal law.

Chilling.

The list has already been used overtly for political harassment purposesby the Bush Administration, so one can only imagine how the Obama government will expand the definition of terrorist to encompass anyone it wants so as to, shall I say, disincentivise dissent.

For instance, the Bush administration put Jesselyn Radack, a former United States Department of Justice ethics adviser who argued that John Walker Lindh was entitled to an attorney, on the No Fly List as part of what many believe to be a reprisal for her whistleblowing.

The list goes on and on. From Cat Stevens to anyone named David Nelson. No Fly, and if Obama has his way, no gun.
