Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun!

Obama's chief of staff wants to take away guns from anyone on the terrorist watch list. Surely, this could never be misused.

Re: Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun!

If I am placed on the "no fly" list, I wont fly..... I highly doubt that any Terrorist worth their salt would waste their time anymore planning something on an airliner anyway....

Re: Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun!

"Because you are known as, maybe, a possible terrorists, you cannot buy a handgun in America." So what ever happened to innocent till proven guilty? He wants to take away a Constitutional right from someone who, as he says, "maybe a possible terrorist". Wish he could be a little more definite before he takes away a US citizens Constitutional right. WTF! I am not a supporter of the NRA but that is pretty *****ed.

Re: Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun!

I know a guy that is on the no-fly list cause is civil engineer and was doing work at an explosive plant. And there ended up being explosive dust on his cloths. He can still fly but it normal takes him a few extra hours everytime he flys to go thru security. His family even get a hassle when they fly.

60 minutes documentary on people who get harrassed because they have the same name as someone on the the list.

Re: Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun!

It's a tough call in my book.... If they DONT do that, and some guy who is not known to be a terrorist, but knows terrorists, and blows up a plane, everyone would scream "how could you let that guy get on a plane"...
Geraldo is back on my shit list for just this reason.... He was on the other day saying how all of the customers on the Hudson river airliner should get millions in tort suits...
WTF??
This lawsuit BS is what is driving most if not all of the ridiculous practices in this country.. It has ruined my field... I tell Pt's all the time when they ask why "because we are no longer practicing medicine, we are practicing liability prevention"...

I don't think they should get a millions $ but a golden ticket would be cool.

They were offered one year of first class travel for their terrible experience, to which that dick Gerardo (intentional misspelling) said was a slap in the face...
I would be thankful I was unscathed..... Outright negligence is one thing, but that asshole would probably blame the airline had a volcano blew and the ash, unavoidable, was the cause... He would then say that they should have vulcanologists on hand at all times to predict such a catastrope....

I sure wish someone would hit him with a chair again.. Pompous ass...

Re: Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun!

Geraldo has made a career of encouraging dumb people to believe they had an entitlement to something...anything...as long as it came from somebody who had worked for it.
As for Rahm Emmanuel...he is an extreme left-wing "gun-grabber"of the first order. He's for ANY program that has the possibility of infringing on your Second Amendment rights.
I've wondered if he spouted his "disarm the people" crap while he was serving in Israel...???

Re: Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun!

I don't suppose that it matters to Marcus that he gave that speech on May 15, 2007 when he was a member of Congress, but why take so long to post it here?

In any event, he is the Chief of Staff now, not a "decider."
