Let's implement the CDAA. Citizens Defense Administration Act that allows us to detain politicians for passing totalitarian shit like this.

For the first time in 45 years, since I came back from Vietnam, I've actually thought about buying a rifle. What a disgrace this law is.

[Brecconable]

That is absolutely necessary mate. Have them tried for sedition, maladministration, perverting the course of justice, perjury, ultra vires, treason or subversion or whatever charge fits.

amen and enforce them withthe same ar's and ak's that they are trying to take away from us

NDAA creates government that is much closer to the government's of North Korea, South American dictators, German fascism, and Joesph Stalin than anything remotely similar to the values of princples embraced by our founding fathers. You will find O'Bama, GWB, Clinton, GHWB, and probably Hillary Clinton in the lists of the worlds greatest tyrants, and never in lists of great Americans who champion liberty and justice and equality.
