Harry Reid is nothing but a marxist piece of trash.
In this video this moron argues that we need the federal government to monitor all gun purchases citing the Ft. Hood shooting. Guess what you dumbass the "patriot act" was in place and didn't do jackshit to stop the shooting.
The point of it all is that even taking them at their word (which if you do you're a fool) that the patriot act and other police state measures are there to protect you their arguments hold no water. They have proven time and time again that they aren't able to protect everyone from every threat. In life there are people who dislike other people (some for very good reason), that is just the facts, giving up your freedom for any reason is stupid, doubly so when history has proven that the government can't provide security which it promises.
