SB 1237 makes rights to bear arms a GW Bush or A. Gonzales judgment call; concentration camps next?

Dictator George W Bush is now trying to sneak another infringement on our liberties past us. He used his sycophant Alberto Gonzales to draft the legislation and provide for another of his toady’s Democrat Senator Lautenberg to introduce it in the Senate under the guise we need it to stop terrorist threats. The legislation is presented as a law that will permit the Attorney General to increase public safety by permitting the Attorney General to deny the transfer of a firearm or the issuance of firearms or explosives licenses to a known or suspected dangerous terrorist. What a crock of crap.
This is one of the biggest scams they have tried to pull off in their headlong pursuit of one world order and defeat of American national sovereignty. Bush and the gang never sleep. They are always coming up with new ways to take our liberties either by executive order or by stealth legislation under the pretense of increasing national security.
The terrorists only needed box cutters for 9-11, Tim McVey needed fertilizer, and English terrorists only needed gasoline and nails. There have been no attacks that demand control of the transfer of a firearm or the issuance of firearms or explosives licenses to a known or dangerous terrorist. HELL, if they are known and dangerous terrorists do you need more laws infringing on my rights to arrest him? Go and arrest them already, don’t come pissing up my leg and telling me it is raining. I am tired of the government lies.
The Lautenberg Senate bill 1237 restriction of gun ownership by citizens is not for the safety and security of the nation. Private gun ownership was a critical element of the Constitution and was well explained by the founding fathers who insisted it was necessary to assure liberty of the citizens would not be usurped by a rogue government. The guns are a necessity to provide for representative government and to assure defense of our nation in spite of corrupt government.
The only objective of this legislation is to make it easier for the Dictator Leader to declare someone a suspected terrorist and strip them of all of their constitutional freedoms so the Leader can take over the country.
American soil has not suffered an attack in modern warfare because the enemies always knew the American public was well armed and ready to defend the country in accordance with the original intent of the founding fathers. The terrorist attacks occurred because of government failure to seal our borders in accordance with the constitutional guarantee to protect citizens from invasion. They new the American public was unarmed in New York and they knew they would face little resistance on the airplanes from unarmed defenseless citizens and pilots.

How can American citizens even propose legislation that would put all our liberty at risk on the whim of a corrupt politician or someone who has a history of lying to congress and failure to enforce the law? There must be safe guards in our laws that assure there is no violation of our rights to bear arms.
