Unless you're part of the very small percentage of the population on the Terrorist Watch List or No Fly list (which is a fraction of the Terrorist Watch List), your rights aren't even at issue with the vote the Democrats were pushing for last night, F.U.
Plus, you're an extremist. A much larger percentage of gun owners support No Fly, No Buy than oppose it.
The NRA will continue to make noise, as will the ACLU, and some vocal gun owners. But, the noise is louder from the much larger group of people who protest, write their congresspersons, and advocate for additional gun control measures.
I don't know if yesterday's House protest will finally convert into some near-term action, but the political climate is much riper for that to happen than it has been for as long as I can remember.
I think the publicity garnered by the sit-in will probably benefit the Democrats much more than it will hurt them, whether a No Fly, No Buy bill is passed or not this year.
