Dear Mr. Trump,
While I appreciate your statements in support of the Second Amendment, and for putting forward a list of potential Supreme Court nominees who respect the Constitution, I am troubled by your support of stripping Second Amendment rights from people on a secret government watch list.
Innocent people put on such a list erroneously must, with great difficulty and expense, prove their innocence to the government. This turns the right to due process on its head.
And the fact is, many innocent people have been put on these lists in error.
For instance, legislators like the late Senator Ted Kennedy and Rep. Tom McClintock have mistakenly been placed on this list, as was an 8-year old boy from New Jersey. Not only that, it took eight long years for one innocent woman to get her named removed from the list.
Hillary Clinton likes to use the sound bite, "no fly, no buy." But sound bites don't make for good law.
Of course, no one want dangerous terrorists walking our streets. But if the government believes a person is too dangerous to fly, law-enforcement should obtain evidence and prove in a court of law that the person should be prosecuted.
This would both protect our constitutional rights and be enhance public safety.
Sincerely,
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP
