Most background checks are made for citizens and lists should not be made. Although I am firmly behind 2nd Amendment rights for citizens, I see no reason that non-citizens deserve the same privilege. To own guns, I think they should first swear allegiance to the United States and become citizens. * * *

"Ashcroft doesn't seem to have a problem with invading their privacy when they speak to their attorneys" He laid out specific guidelines to when and where this would be done. I thought it sounded reasonable and prudent when faced with the fact that the Al Quida manual specifically stressed the importance of terrorists communicating with their counterparts via this method. The protection in place are that both attorney and client are told they will be listened too, the people listening have NOTHING to do with the prosecution, and the material cannot be provided in any way shape or form to the prosecution. That said, do you agree or disagree with this policy? I would like to get your reaction to this before exploring whether the gun list privacy issue is legit. I view them as being different and distinct issues. Your "Which is it, dude?" comment leads me to believe you feel they are connected and that you can't have one without the other.
