To the Post's infrequent credit when the subject is gun control, they actually quoted an opposing viewpoint:
Speaking against the proposed legislation at the hearing was Aaron Titus, privacy director of a Washington-based group called the Liberty Coalition. He said the group "takes no official position on 'gun control' per se," but that "we are very alarmed at legislative attempts, though well-intentioned, which strip away individual constitutional protections."
He said in prepared testimony that the bills in question "strip citizens of their enumerated constitutional right to bear arms without any meaningful due process and create a national firearms registry."
The committee "should not spend time debating whether to take away terrorists' guns, bombs, cell phones, cars or other instruments of terrorism," Titus said. "If a person is a dangerous terrorist, then he should be thrown in jail." He added, however, that the proposed Senate legislation "is based on the assumption that all individuals on terrorist watch lists are terrorists," an assumption he argued is impossible to check.
