Federal "Terrorist" Legislation Could Threaten Gun Owners

Federal "Terrorist" Legislation Could Threaten Gun Owners
"'Critics say the names of suspected terrorists could be drawn from existing government watch lists that cover such broad categories as animal rights extremists, Christian identity extremists, black separatists, anti-abortion extremists, anti-immigration extremists and anti-technology extremists.'

In effect, any group or people who someone might want to label as 'extremist' or 'anti.'

'It doesn't say anything about trials and due process,'
Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, told Fox News. 'This is one of the most outrageous pieces of legislation to come along in some time. It's basically saying, ‘I suspect you, so your rights are toast.’'

The bill’s Constitutionality was a big question."
