Imagine if the Bush Administration did this with guns...

(Now before you reply, MY position on gun control is irrelevant, this is not a thread advocating or opposing gun control.)

Want to buy a gun?

Well, if your name appears on a do-not-buy list, even if you share a name with someone on that list, too bad for you.

Wait, how about a database that keeps track of people who have purchased firearms, the armchair commandos in the war on terror would support that, right?

BTW, how do you think gun enthusiasts would feel if people were spying on them and had developed intelligence on them, no matter how nonviolent they were.

Yet, we as a culture tolerate it with travel and when it happens to anti-war groups, why?
