We're all terrorists now.

The House of Representatives has passed H.R.1955, the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007". One of the bill's sponsors, Rep. Harman (D-CA), said
"We must intervene before a person crosses the line separating radical views from violent behavior, create an environment that discourages disillusionment and alienation, and instill in young people a sense of belonging and faith in the future."
Do you have any radical views? Said any radical things on a blog or forum? Belong to any radical organizations? Maybe one that advocates private citizens patrolling the border or calls the 2nd Amendment the "Reset Button"? Call yourself a "People of the Gun"?

Just think what a second Clinton administration is going to be able to do with all these cool new toys left hanging in the toolshed. We're all terrorists now, baby.

    The Congress finds the following:

    `(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens."

    Yep, blame the internet.

  3. And just *who invented that internet terrorist tool? Recall that some police departments wanted to ban the early automobile because criminals could use them to escape.
    Hmph. Might as well be hung for a wolf as a sheepdog? Involuntary recatorization engaged. Must fly, got loads to test.

  12. Well, I guess as a (currently legal) merchant of death I must be just steps away from becoming a terrorist and have therefore made the enemies list.

    Yee-haw. Do I get a big red "T" or some other sort of flair to wear everyday to let people know?

  14. While it only begets a "commission" to "study" the "problem" it is a precursor to declarations of one thought or expressions of certain thoughts as criminal acts. Write your Senators and tell them NO on the bill.

  15. Well, I guess I really did need a reason to set up my reloading bench again besides teaching Jr edition the practice.

    Plus I do so want a reason to make purchases I can afford but didn't want to make on some new equipment and supplies.

  16. The best part is that if any of us do have to go down fighting in a batf raid over a half inch of rifle barrel or something equally stupid, the press will have an absolute propaganda field day with our "crazy" asses. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

  17. Why are the regular people terrorists now?

    Does that make the Berkley crowd patriots?

    We live in strange times.

  18. "Well boys the Tiber looks kinda shallow this year" (Alleged comment by "Big" Jules Caesar shortly before he said that other famous quote about dice and stuff.)



    On a slightly more serious note.

    Could someone please tell me again just WHO won the Cold War???

  20. Does this mean that the Daily Kos will soon be shut down as a terrorist institution?

    I can't think of another online site that does more to create disillusionment and incite hatred.

  21. Was this Ben Franklin?
    "If we don't all hang together, we shall most certainly all hang separately?"

    Zero and re-zero, then zero something else.

  25. comatus,
    Whoops, let me wipe the egg off my face.

    Which is why it sounded a bit off to me. Oh well, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

  26. Each time a government creates a new law it creates a new batch of criminals. Soon there are enough laws that we are all felons of some sort, and the right to arm/defend ourselves can be denied.

  27. Reckon they mean me, too. Okay.

    Word verification: krapppht. Pretty well sums it up.

  29. "Each time a government creates a new law it creates a new batch of criminals. Soon there are enough laws that we are all felons of some sort, and the right to arm/defend ourselves can be denied."

    This is strange, as being a felon, a criminal hasn't stopped many of our "rulers" from attaining, and/or holding, public office.

    Why not just make it "illegal" to be a felon and hold any form of public office in this country.

    Oh, that's right, our masters would then be voting to throw themselves out of office.(let's laughter subside) Silly me.

  30. Life imitating art?

    Someone been reading Philip K. Dick and taking notes?

    Doubtful. I bet she just waited for the movie.

  31. It's the funniest thing, suddenly I'm craving a shoulder-fired, high-powered weapon with a really good 'scope.

    Hunh.

    Must be a coincidence.

  32. roberta x,

    Something in a detachable-mag .30 caliber semi-auto will generate some traffic your way, if you were to indulge yourself.

    I'm getting the itch for another one.

    By all means, let the craving win.

  33. Just think what a second Clinton administration is going to be able to do with all these cool new toys left hanging in the toolshed.

    Or any administration! Only 3 of the 200 republicans voted against it, eek!

  34. b&n, Having seen the snaps of Roberta's Eagle's Nest on BancOne, I'm thinking "shoulder-fired" is about something whose bore is measured in multiple centimeters. And everybody out as far as Brownsburg can sleep better at night. Beware falling brass on Market St.
