Regardless of your opinion, the law is the law. The Constitution states that your rights cannot be revoked without due process of law. That is defined as a trial by jury. The no-fly list does not constitute due process of law.The Constitution has ammendmants to bring it up to the needs of the time.Due process requires a trial before your Constitutional rights can be revoked, numskull.It is a new world that requires new strategies. There is due process for those who are on the no fly list incorrectly. They get off the list they get their right to own a gun. How many are on their incorrectly; very few?Agree and Let's ban guns for anyone on the no fly list..
Translation: Let's adopt totalitarian policies which enable unelected bureaucrats to put political enemies on secret lists in order to deny them their rights protected by The Constitution.
How many felons that are not allowed to own a gun have been incorrectly convicted; many more than those on the no fly list incorrectly.
Terrorists are using our rights to kill us. There has to be common sense revisions to meet the risks of the new world.
The 9/11 hijackers would have been stopped if their had not been such tight restrictions on monitoring their phone calls. Changes were made.
End of story.
Trial is not the only means. Approved search warrants apply as well.
