I'm convinced that you will see significant gun legislation within one year if Obama gets elected. It will involve EBRs. He won't start it, but he will sign it.
Yea. I keep reading about all of these people getting paranoid and buying up everything, and talking about it. Just wanted to see how some people on here feel about it. I feel there is NO worry, none, zip.
With John McCain you will get:
1. 20 Million more illegal aliens.
With Barak Obama you will get:
1. Higher taxes
2. Surrender to the terrorists
3. Atomic Iran
4. End of The World
5. Gun ban
him publicly saying that he was in favor of door to door gun confiscations,
This is the height of naivete. Did the existence of the 2nd amendment prevent the Clinton assault weapon ban? Or any of the gun control measures that came before it?I think there is no way it will affect anything with either of the candidates. Afterall its in the constitution and its up to the individual states, I feel it will stay this way.
Dust in the wind- I read the ENTIRE bailout bill (original text, not BS news analysis). This is the only mention of the FBI:
SEC. 127. COOPERATION WITH THE FBI.
Any Federal financial regulatory agency shall cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies investigating fraud, misrepresentation, and malfeasance with respect to development,
advertising, and sale of financial products.
Not really seeing much re:FBI commanding troops
this just in, our civil liberties are being violated again! This time no one is telling us about it. The govt just gave the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division to U.S. army north. The brigade will be active in the continental united states. Last time I checked this goes against The Posse Comitatus Act which prohibits military in an active role on U.S. soil. The main resposiblities of the brigade are as followed:
* Thwart civil unrest
* crowd control
* deal with potentially horrific scenarios
They will be calling themselfs CCMRF or ConsequenCe Management Response Force. This is some scary stuff folks. Now the president can call martial law in any time of a terrorist attack and he has a brigade ready.
As the recent militarization of St. Paul during the GOP Convention made abundantly clear, our actual police forces are already quite militarized. Still, what possible rationale is there for permanently deploying the U.S. Army inside the United States -- under the command of the President -- for any purpose, let alone things such as "crowd control," other traditional law enforcement functions, and a seemingly unlimited array of other uses at the President's sole discretion? And where are all of the stalwart right-wing "small government conservatives" who spent the 1990s so vocally opposing every aspect of the growing federal police force? And would it be possible to get some explanation from the Government about what the rationale is for this unprecedented domestic military deployment (at least unprecedented since the Civil War), and why it is being undertaken now?
The thing folks is it's just one brigade now, but what will this precident purvey for us in the future? The question is will this power be abused in the future? stay tuned.
