More nonsense regarding gun control & the violation of constitutional rights from The Volokh Conspiracy. (Beware – the article linked to by Volokh is a PDF.)
The civil libertarians who warned about a New McCarthyism in the United States turned out to be right. As in the early 1950s, politicians – abetted by an uncritical press – are using national security as a pretext to take away constitutional rights. Like the Old McCarthyism, the New McCarthyism wants constitutional rights eliminated without due process, based on mere suspicion.
*sigh*
It doesn’t seem particularly nonsensical to me. Maybe you could spare an extra hundred words to explain why you see it that way.
Please read this for my 1,000 word explanation as to why I find it nonsenical.
