Recently the Department of Homeland “Security” issued two startling
“reports” concerning “Right wing extremism”. The first report to be leaked
mentioned supposed “threats” posed by military veterans and those who
support Constitutionally limited government. The second “report” to leak
was titled "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" and supposedly rescinded. However,
a bill (HR 2159) was introduced by Representative Peter King (NY-3) titled
“Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009”.
While this bill “sounds” good, once you realize that YOU could potentially
be one of the “terrorist”, you soon realize it's not near as good as it
seems.
The bill would allow “The Attorney General [to] deny the transfer of a
firearm...if the Attorney General determines that the transferee is known
(or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct
constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or
providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a
reasonable belief that the prospective transferee may use a firearm in
connection with terrorism.”
Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, objected, “[HR
2159] would deny citizens their civil liberties based on no due process, A
'known terrorist?' Look, if the guy has committed an act of terrorism, we
shouldn't have to worry about him being able to buy a gun; he should be in
jail!”
The bill never explicitly defines “terrorism”; it only says “The term
‘terrorism’ means ‘international terrorism’ as defined in section 2331(1),
and ‘domestic terrorism’ as defined in section 2331(5)”. This references
the US Code, which gives an equally ambiguous definition, which could
include ANY definition given – created, rather – by the Federal
Government. Based on the leaked documents from the DHS, this includes
almost anyone that opposes expanding federal government, the Federal
Reserve, the IRS, abortion, illegal-immigration or any other number of
government agencies or policies.
"Unbeknownst to us, some bureaucrat in the bowels of democracy can put
your name on a list, and your Second Amendment rights are toast," Pratt
told World Net Daily. "This is such an anti-American bill, this is
something King George III would have done."
World Net Daily recently wrote, “'Domestic Extremism Lexicon' expanded the
list from typical 'right-wing' causes to include left-wing extremism,
animal rights activists, black separatists, anarchists, Cuban independence
advocates, environmental extremists, the anti-war movement and more. It
even insisted some of these groups were prone to violence. For example,
the lexicon defined the "tax resistance movement" – also referred to in
the report as the tax protest movement or the tax freedom movement – as
"groups or individuals who vehemently believe taxes violate their
constitutional rights. Among their beliefs are that wages are not income,
that paying income taxes is voluntary, and that the 16th Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, which allowed Congress to levy taxes on income, was not
properly ratified.”
So be warned; if you support a smaller government, think the “income tax”
is unconstitutional and have other “extremist” views, your Second
Amendment rights may be in jeopardy.
