The purpose of the terrorist definitions in the Department of Homeland Security report entitled "Rightwing Extremism Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment"and the DHS Lexicon take on new meaning. A larger coordinated back door attack on Constitutional rights emerges when you consider them with a new bill from U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.).
Introduced April 29, 2009 is a bill, H.R. 2159 called "Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009." The correlation between this legislative action and the DHS policy becomes somewhat ominous when you consider parts of the bill. The bill H.R. 2159 states in part:
"the Attorney General the authority to deny the sale, delivery, or transfer of a firearm or the issuance of a firearms or explosives license or permit to dangerous terrorists. . . . if the Attorney General determines that the transferee is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the prospective transferee may use a firearm in connection with terrorism."
Supporters of the bill are the author, U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), and his bill's co-sponsors, Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), Mike Castle (R-Del.), Jim Moran (D-Va.), Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), Mark Kirk (D-Ill.), and Chris Smith (R-N.J.).
On the face of it, this bill sounds like an innocuous law that will only make us safer. But as Benjamin Franklin said "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
If you are in a category in the DHS report that is "appropriately suspected" of being a terrorist, this bill will allow any Attorney General to deny you of your 2nd Amendment right. The DHS report classifies Pro-Life (51% of the American people in the latest survey), supporters of limited government, supporters of the Second Amendment, Military veterans, and people who don't apologize for America being number one in the world, as potential right wing terrorists.
If you are in that list, let your Congress person know what you think of their attempt to back door the removal of your Constitutional rights. Apparently some of them do not seem to understand who works for who.
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) in response to recent gun control defeats proclaimed that ordinary Americans and gun control advocacy groups are consistently outflanked by gun owners' groups, like the National Rifle Association. What she fails to realize is that the NRA consists of her employers, the 'ordinary American'.
Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), upset at her fellow employees of the 'ordinary American' for losses of gun control legislation said "It has to do with being afraid they'll lose their election if they stand up against guns,". That's right Rep. Woolsey, if you do not do what your employers want, you get fired.

Write your Congress person.
Protect your rights from being chipped away. Remember, they are from the government and they are trying to help you. Consider also, the title of Senator, the title of Representative, the title of President, they are not titles of Rulers. They are titles of service. Service to you, the people. The Second Amendment, part of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, is not just a Right to hunt. It is not just a Right to self defense from criminals. It is a Duty for each person to keep so that Tyranny is always kept at bay. Just having this Right ensures all of your other Rights. Without it, none of your other Rights will last.
