[The Urban Sombrero]

I'm a lot of things, paranoid is not one of em. I simply do not see the list stopping any terrorists from doing what they do. I don't see their minds changing because they are on the list. I don't see their ability to "mass kill" decrease because their name is on the list. I DO see law abiding citizens being erroneously being put on the list, therefore losing their constitutional right. Who really gets the stinky end of the stick?

But hey, if it makes people "feel" safer, put 'em all on the list. After the next shooting will the "list" be expanded to cover whatever the next fool represents? After that, another list, right? Call it being paranoid if you wish, I see it as reality.

If 5,000 Americans is the correct number at this point (on the terror watch/"no fly"), we are talking about a tiny piece of a 325,000,000 person pie. There is no guarantee that this measure will stop the next mass shooting. However, is it a reasonable, rational thing to ban folks on this list from being able to purchase a military style, "mass kill" weapon?
