The type of person who wants to keep their guns isn't the kind of person that the government is worried about.

The government is worried about the kind of guy who wishes that Flight 93 had hit its target on 9/11 (see the article). They're worried about the kind of person who can't tolerate having a black President. They're worried about the kind of person who thinks that Hitler wasn't half bad. They're worried about the sorts of people who want to use the skills they acquired to defend this country to do harm to it. They're worried about the kind of people who think that they'll help this country by killing hundreds of innocent people by blowing up a federal office building in the middle of the country.

Domestic terrorism is a real threat, from both the left and the right. It's wrong to think that somebody can't be a terrorist just because they're form the same part of the political spectrum as you.

@Lance
Did you read the article?

Imagine some EXTREM right/left/whatsoever winger commits a serious crime (terrorism, murder, etc.) and later it was found out that the government had not seen it coming at all, what would happen? Everyone would be mad how the FBI and other authorities could have missed that. But to have intel (sp?) you have to have groups under surveillance. EXTREMIST groups preferably because they are usually the first ones to use violence to achieve their targets.
Why right wing groups should be spared from this is beyond me. Here in Germany we have some problems with both left and right wing radicals. They both DO commit crimes ranging from propaganda over destroying property over bodily injury to murder. So the BKA (German FBI) keeps an eye on both.
