Watch List Guns

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I have the only gun on board. Welcome to Con Air."
--Cyrus Grissom (Con Air)

As part of his ongoing efforts to marshall increased support for gun control, President Obama has stated several times recently that people who have been placed on 'no-fly lists' assembled by the federal government should not be allowed to purchase firearms.

Implied, of course, is that such 'no-fly lists' are legitimate.

Ron Paul observes the fallacy of such a position, as government generated watch lists of any kind are prone to mischief and subject to error. The constitutionality of such lists is certainly questionable.

RP suggests that gun control energy is better placed disarming the government, particularly the military, who has been wrongly utilizing firearms for offensive rather than defensive purposes.
