Re: Tomorrow’s Faux Pas, Today.
Governor,
You should be getting used to the fact that your most “progressive” left of center advisers routinely lead you into policy statements that sound disconnected from reality. I say “should” be learning it; clearly you have not yet. Because your latest announcement on second amendment issues – “no-fly, no buy”, barring people who are on the federal “no fly” list from buying guns – is quite clearly an attempt to ramp up the left’s turnout in the upcoming election.
But – as we on the right, and among the second amendment Human Rights movement told you – it’s unconstitutional.
You should be getting used to this by now; they’re wrong, we are right. Every time. No exceptions.
Are we detecting a pattern, yet?
That is all.
(PS: But by all means, keep going. The right needs all the rallying points it can get).
Why would you forbid people on the no-fly list from buying guns, but still allow them to vote? Or exercise free speech? Or get welfare benefits? Or be allowed to raise children or attend school?
Hell, why not just throw them into prison?
Why indeed. I’m sure there are those out there who view that as the ultimate end goal, BG
