Domestic abusers are not allowed to have guns. But gun control advocates want to expand that federal law to include those who merely have been accused of threatening violence -- by prohibiting those under a temporary restraining order from having firearms.
COMMENTS:
This is dangerous territory.
In the evolution of this thinking, if I ask you how your divorce is
going and you jokingly reply, “I’d like to kill that woman,” (what man or woman
who has ever gone through a divorce hasn’t made a similar remark about their
soon-to-be ex-spouse), then all of your guns could automatically be
confiscated. What if you get into an
argument with your boss; can he have the cops grab your guns? I don’t disagree with the general idea, I guess,
but there is no provision for due process and on that basis alone we need to
fight this proposal tooth and nail.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I can’t believe that the White House didn’t know in
advance of Bergdahl’s trade for the five Taliban that Bergdahl was a traitor,
or at least a deserter. (Aileen ~ Kent,
WA)
A. Well, Obama finds everything out by reading the
newspaper, so how could he have had a clue?
But, you are absolutely correct; his military records reflected that,
according to his former roommate. And
they certainly must have reviewed those records in the process of deciding
whether or not to do the trade. I think
Obama thought he was going to take the heat off Benghazi, the V.A. mess and the
I.R.S. scandal and was shocked when Americans were angry over the deal.
Q. The damned government is moving these poor illegal immigrant
kids all across the country. What if
they have contagious diseases? What if
there are sex crimes committed or some get loose and vandalize? What if a community flat doesn’t want them in
its neighborhood? (Shep ~ Forks, WA)
A. A small town in Virginia echoes your disdain and was
successful in forcing the government to house a group of illegal children
elsewhere. I have empathy for the
kids. At the same time I have anger at
the Administration for refusing, time and time again, to deal responsibly with
the matter. The blame rests solely on
the President’s shoulders, since he is the one who refuses to enforce the
existing immigration laws.
Q. With everything that is going on internationally right
now, what do you think of Obama’s foreign policy? (Si ~ Sparks, NV)
A. What foreign
policy?
