Just to be clear, you're proposing that once you're added to this "list" (without judicial process, mind you) that we restrict your ability to communicate?
Even if that was technical feasible, let alone practical, do you trust your government - or any government that much?
I agree. IF we are OK with taking away 2A rights, take away 1A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, & 8A. Also publicly name them, so we can ban them from neighborhoods like we do child molesters.

1) Provide resources to law enforcement to actually enforce existing gun laws.
2) Don't allow people on the "no fly" list to buy firearms
3) Reinstate the assault weapons ban.

It strikes me as odd that that we rail against #3, which I believe that most people on the forum agree with and would support #1-#2. It might take a lot of heat off the whole thing if #1-#2 actually got done. The first two make sense to me. Even if I don't like the messenger, I agree with 2/3 of the message.
Not me. I am against #2 & #3, and since I think about 99% of all gun laws should be repealed, I am not a big fan of #1 either.

Not sure why anyone would be in favor of #2. Anyone too dangerous to own a gun is too dangerous to be allowed to buy box cutters, fertilizer, pressure cookers, see what I did there?
