Metrocon Vs. Terrists

Writing an article for the Metrocon fortnightly, Cliff May doesn't have a problem with denying firearms to terrorists suspects on the Watch List.  He concedes the issue that there is a problem with lack of due process, but is not dissuaded from supporting such a restriction.  He is also convinced that once wrongly placed on the list, a person can easily, with time, get off the list.  Somehow.  So a right is "delayed but not denied."

He knows the counter arguments, but is unpersuaded.  He says he supports the 2nd Amendment, but in this case wishes to err on the side of caution.  He also doesn't think these denials will be abused by bureaucrats.

At least he is honest about his line of thinking.

I disagree with him.

The commenters universally take him to task, so far.
