Lists!
No one would ever abuse them:
An immigration officer tried to rid himself of his wife by adding her name to a list of terrorist suspects.
He used his access to security databases to include his wife on a watch list of people banned from boarding flights into Britain because their presence in the country is ‘not conducive to the public good’.

How many gun owners have had their job applications rejected because prospective employers found their names on the public lists of CCW holders?
We’ll never know the number, but we can do away the existence of such lists that make politically motivated discrimination easy. Constitutional carry makes sense and it should be on a national basis, not state by state. We have basic rights as Americans that no state should infringe.

So truth is not a legal defense against such actions in England?
I jest, I jest!

But remember – denying people their Constitutionally-protected rights just because their name shows up on a secret list is totally ok!

Are peoples’ rights in England protected by our Constitution? 😉
I wish I had thought of this before my wife came back from Europe (LOL – only joking.)
