''Watch Lists' by John R. Lott, Jr. and Sonya D. Jones
Should people lose rights because they are sympathetic to, but do not actually help, terrorist groups? Should law enforcement be the arbiter of those sympathizers who should be placed on "watch lists"?

Democrats said "yes" to both questions recently as they released a report showing that 35 gun purchases during the first half of last year were made by people on terrorist "watch lists" and called it a major public security risk. Their solution? Ban the sale of guns to people law enforcement places on the "watch list."
