By Paul Jacob December 6, 2015 Will the government soon quarter troops in your home? The Third Amendment prohibits that, sure but if prominent and powerful Democrats are so anxious to toss out the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution, who's to say they wouldn't jettison the Third? Last year, every Democratic U.S. Senator voted to repeal the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech and replace it with new, broad powers for incumbents in Congress to regulate their own campaign spending and their opponents', and thereby regulate essential political speech. Luckily, those 54 senators still lacked the two-thirds margin needed to send their constitutional amendment to the House and then possibly out to the states. Now, in the face of "gun violence" in San Bernardino, California what has finally, ever so reluctantly, been acknowledged to be terrorism President Barack Obama, presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton, and congressional Democrats, advance the idea that we should immediately scrap the Second Amendment. "For those who are concerned about terrorism," said Mr. Obama, as if he's not so concerned, "some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can't get on planes. But those same people, who we don't allow to fly, could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm, and there's nothing we can do to stop them. That's a law that needs to be changed." How would such a statute work? By first scrapping the Fifth Amendment, which guarantees that "No person shall be . . . deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." These Democrats demand that Americans on the so-called "No-Fly List" a subset of the 700,000 folks found on the Terrorist Watch List be denied their Second Amendment right to a firearm, despite the fact that the bureaucratically created list is recognized to be a mess and, moreover, offers not a scintilla of due process: no charge, jury, trial. Would this new regulation have prevented the San Bernardino murderers from getting guns? No they had recently flown to Saudi Arabia, half-way around the world. The globe-trotting Boston Marathon bombers didn't make the no-fly list, either. But the list did label an 18-month-old girl a terrorist, snatching her rights like taking candy from a . . . toddler. For many years, embarrassingly, the late Nelson Mandela was on the no-fly list, along with South Africa's foreign minister, and also Stephen F. Hayes, the Weekly Standard columnist not to mention my innocent nephew. On MSNBC's Morning Joe last week, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina was asked if it wasn't merely "common sense" to block those on terror watch lists from getting guns." I actually think it's ideology, not common sense," Fiorina replied, "that causes the left-wing every time in a knee jerk reaction to say the answer here is more laws, when we're not enforcing the laws we have." Instead, she urged, explaining that "less than one percent" of those obtaining guns illegally are ever prosecuted, "Let's start by enforcing the laws we already have."

Or, are they one and the same? How can an 18 month old girl or a noted reported be placed on the no fly list? How can reporters like Cheryl Attkinson or James Rosen and their families be spied upon as reporters when there are other 'Leftist JournOlists' that have actually participated in lies and treasonous acts against our government. Then there's the new knee jerk response to the terrorist attack in San Bernadino. California is amongst states that have the strictest gun laws has become the site of an attack by Islamic Terrorism. What 'Democrats' now discuss the restriction and confiscation of guns placed upon the honest population of America. Strangely, on Black Friday 185,000 Americans legally passed background checks and purchased guns. How can that be? IMO, the knee jerk reaction of this president and his puppet Progressives have no common sense, nor do they have the logic to govern this country. We are being attacked on a worldwide basis by Islamic radicals and our leaders are calling to disarm the population, in violation of our Constitution, Bill of Rights and all it's amendments.
Paul Jacob is a fear monger for even imagining that the Government would O.K. that troops be quartered in anyone's home.
Article II, Section I, Clause 5 prevents Obama from being president. We can evoke that if he tries anything.
