Gun Owners of America and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership have grave concerns over HR 418, “The Real ID Act.”
I have concerns too. I also have concerns about a wave of uncontrolled criminal migration that is fundamentally changing our culture and adding to the severely overstressed burdens on “We the People.” I know the Libertarian response is to end all welfare programs, but we know that isn’t going to happen any time soon, and we have a crisis NOW. And I know that anything proposed by the feds is going to have a hidden agenda for increasing their power and control at the expense of our freedom.
We must remember in this debate that the Founders ordained and established the Constitution to secure the blessings of Liberty for themselves and their posterity.
There's nothing "hidden" about the agenda in HR 418. It openly states that "the Secretary of Homeland Security shall have the authority to waive, and shall waive, all laws such Secretary, in such Secretary's sole discretion, determines necessary to ensure expeditious construction of the barriers and roads under this section," and that "no court shall have jurisdiction... to hear any cause or claim arising from any action undertaken, or any decision made, by the Secretary of Homeland Security pursuant to paragraph (1)."
ReplyDeleteHR 418 isn't about protecting us from terrorism; it's about establishing a police state.
