jgoose71 0 #1 December 13, 2015 In his nation wide call for "no fly, no buy" he forgot one little detail..... Trey Gowdey is the man! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNDcd1Fe5lg Keep in mind there are over 700,000 on the no fly list. Half of them are on for arbitrary reasons like buying one way tickets like Journalist Steve Hayes. Others have included, toddlers, high ranking officers in the US military and members of the DHS..."There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

wmw999 2,371 #2 December 13, 2015 Most people on the no-fly list with redress numbers have been vetted and re-vetted to a faretheewell. However, had Obama not suggested this, some blogosphere pundit would have called him on not suggesting it, and everyone would be all over that one.

tkhayes 324 #3 December 13, 2015 funny, we do not seem to have the same regard when we take away voting rights for legal citizens that should be allowed to vote. So the gun lobby is concerned that even 'one' citizen that is on the no-fly list that might not get a gun because that violates their rights, yet the same right wing conservatives will go to extreme lengths to pass legislation so that thousands and thousands of citizens can no longer vote. got it.

If only the 'fervor' was so evenly applied.... If only the 2nd amendment was treated like voting rights. To exercise my constitutionally protected right to bear arms I had to pay the government a fee, get finger printed, have my information ran through several data bases, show a level of competence and training, and then had to wait several weeks for the results. Mind you, my process was expedited because I'm a veteran. Yep, if this process is OK for one constitutionally protected right, it should be OK for the rest of them. Here TK, lets also put this level of scrutiny on the 1st amendment. Wear a ball gag until you pay a fee and are properly vetted on the off chance you might yell fire in a crowded theater. You can take it off in the privacy of your own home as long as you don't post on the internet... As far as the "one" person on the know fly list, I'm not sure where you got that information, but we all know it's a flat out lie. Seriously, does anyone know what criteria lands you on that thing and how to get off of it?

The president should say things he knows can't be done to keep people posting on the Internet from talking bad about him? Could possibly understand saying something like, "There's been a lot of discussion about... but here's why it's not viable:" Then again, would like to think our elected officials would basically ignore any nonconstitutional suggestions from the extremes of either party.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

jgoose71 0 #8 December 13, 2015 Hi Wendy! wmw999Most people on the no-fly list with redress numbers have been vetted and re-vetted to a faretheewell. Wendy P. Where did you find that information? The only thing I could find was that if you did something that raised suspicion (say, bought a one way ticket to Syria) you could get your name added.

Jack Harris, WV born, Vietnam veteran, college grad, talk show host on 970AM Tampa, bemoans being placed on the no-fly list shortly after 9/11. He does not know why. His work necessitates frequent air travel. It took him a long time to get off the list. I do not know all the details. He just jokes about now and then during show banter.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

How is that not "equal courtesy?" I dunno, perhaps maybe "equal courtesy" to you means that your proposal is fair enough - the end all say all. Any counter proposal - no matter how reasonable - is discourteous! If a gun control advocate proposed to limit purchasing power to one gun every other year, you'd be applauding him.
