Can you imagine the damage Donald Trump would do... [View all]

... if the efforts to enact a "No-Fly" anti-gun list had actually been successful?

Think about it, this scheme would have given the executive branch the ability to revoke people's Second Amendment rights, with no judicial hearing, no due process, no clear means to restore their rights, based on whether the Attorney General scrawled their name on a secret list.

You don't think one of President Cheetoface McTribblehair's first acts would be to grab a crayon and scribble out an executive order expanding the scope of that legislation? Fourth amendment rights? Gone. First Amendment? See ya later. No more pleading the Fifth, IYKWIMAITYD.

And before you can say, "Trump and Putin, sitting in a tree...", he'd made a bee line to Atty. Gen. Sessions (assuming he gets in), and every Muslim immigrant over the past 25 years will find their names on that list. Hell, anyone who ever crossed him would end up there, he'd make Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

So very, very glad we didn't get that stupid Constitution-shredding scheme on the books. I mean, who knows what he'll come up with on his own, but at least he doesn't have that particular tool which would gave gotten him 90% to that Muslim registry we keep hearing about.
