Howard 538 Posted November 5, 2018 A couple of NY law makers want to make it mandatory to have your social media accounts and search history for the last three years reviewed before you can have a gun. Guess in trying to kill the 2nd Amendment they want to kill the 1st Amendment as well. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/11/daniel-zimmerman/coming-to-an-anti-gun-state-near-you-ny-pols-want-social-media-checks-before-buying-guns/ 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't happen, this is AMERICA!" Then I think for a moment about all the nonsensical crap these bleeping people have already shoved down our throats,,,,,,,,,,I'm sure our esteemed (koff koff) guvnah Murphy will jump at the chance to back this. I'm torn between thanking you for alerting us about this, and wanting to play ostrich. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted November 5, 2018 The worst part is that most social media companies are fairly anti gun and generally unfailingly progressive. They will most likely allow it to happen and not try to fight for privacy. It would, in my under-educated mind, be stomping on 1, 2, and 4. All in the name of protecting us from ourselves. I'm curious to see if the ACLU jumps in on this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deerpark 83 Posted November 5, 2018 Lets,make a list of things that would trigger our public servants to strip us of our rights by State force: If you criticized government. If you got mad at something. If you like Trump. If you farted in an elevator. Anything else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice4you 627 Posted November 5, 2018 The problem is that a select few states are in competition for who can make up the most dumbass laws. NY can't let Cali or Jersey win, so here comes this shit. Next up will be requiring video cameras that automatically upload clips every time a swear word is uttered installed in cars of people who want to own guns, requiring 150 "randomly picked" social media friends to sign off on your application, the approval of your 1st grade teacher, and a state senator personally signing a notarized form allowing you to own guns. If any of the above are unobtainable, any 3 plus a $150,000 "donation" to your governer may be ok. Would be interested in seeing full social media accounts and search history of those politicians though. Wonder how many search histories would show things like: Best inconspicuous ways to ask for bribes How to hide money How to hide payoff Best places to conduct deals away from office How to tell if someone is wearing a wire Is it cheating if i only fuck her ass Age of consent in ny Statutory rape punishment Do motels still accept cash only Why do my constituants keep talking about the book "animal farm" How to delete pictures so fbi can't find them How do i delete computer history How do i delete google search history How can i bribe google Has any state law punished google How to copy and paste text 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I remember them jumping in on one although I can’t remember the details at this moment. I remember thinking it MUST be bad if they’re coming out against anti-gun legislation.

Thanks for the clarification. Obviously you have been able to keep up with things better than I have, and I do appreciate the input. I was always of the opinion that the no-fly lists were painfully poorly developed, explained, or fairly applied. Since one can be added to it at anytime, and without recourse (in most cases) and so called "mistakes" are all but impossible to get corrected, one can hardly accept the idea of summarily being added to another denial list merely due to inclusion on that one. I'm glad others on here keep better informed than I. It helps to have another easy to find info source like this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
