Senate braces for showdown over gun control

The Democratic plan, written by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), would allow the Justice Department to block sales of guns to people who are suspected of having terrorist ties. Republicans have said Feinstein’s proposal would intrude on the Second Amendment rights of those who are wrongly included on federal terror watch lists. Meanwhile, the GOP plan drafted by Cornyn would halt a sale only if a judge found probable cause that the person trying to buy the gun is involved in terrorist activities. Democrats say that burden of proof is too high.

The statements by Democrats scare me the most. With this they (the leaders of the Democrat Party) are saying that they want to take away our rights without due process and disfranchise through legislative action, instead of the most appropriate way. Just like elements of the Patriot Act, if this occurs, it will never go away. Elements of this are in direct opposition of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

For those of you that have problems with definitions -
Disfranchisement is not only the "revocation of suffrage (the right to vote), BUT it also means the "deprivation of a right or privilege."
