We've talked about Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's "No Fly" bill before. I've also made it the subject of my October Guns Magazine "Rights Watch" column:

Having been thwarted in 2005, she recently reintroduced H.R. 2401, the “No Fly, No Buy Act of 2009,” with the stated objective “To increase public safety and reduce the threat to domestic security by including persons who may be prevented from boarding an aircraft in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, and for other purposes.”

There's a danger that could catch citizens unawares with terrible consequences:

Author and attorney Dave Kopel noted, “Under the New McCarthyism, a prosecutor could send a gun-owner to federal prison without needing to show the person had ever committed a crime, or had taken any steps preparatory to committing a crime, but merely that the person’s name was on list compiled by a federal agent and the person had owned, used, or tried to buy a gun."

For those who prefer to read a physical magazine (and for those with older computers and/or dial-up service), the issue is available at newsstands throughout the land, and as I understand it, they also don't mind people who want to subscribe.
