NRA wants terrorists to have guns
Well thats the snarky headline one gets off this story anyhow.
Article This one has me kind of torn. Im all for more gun control (which is the biggest trump to what I say in the following). But the way it is now you can buy guns, and one of the rights we have is the whole "innocent until proven guilty (OJ excepted)". I feel sick that Im considering agreeing with the NRA on an issue. I find it funny the NRA is at odds with Bush, though this isnt the first time. Many NRA members are mad that Bush and other top Republicans want to open up federal lands out west to foresting and mining...lands that were closed to such things under Clinton and many gun enthusiasts in those years have learned to enjoy such lands for their hunting and beauty (conservatives being conservationists...whoduvthunkit?) Is this terrorist suspect list like the no fly list the government runs where if your name has 3 letters in common with a peasant farmer in Yemen who's wife's 3rd cousin is in Al Qaeda, you're on it?
