We believe the government should enact legislation to ensure that full, just and timely compensation will be paid to all persons who are deprived of personal or private property as a result of any federal government initiative, policy, process, regulation or legislation.

Sheesh that's bad, on two fronts.
The first front is gun control. I find it extremely distasteful that the government would give constitutional protection to people's investments, when they made investments into killing machines with their disposable income. Surely, as a society, we have better things to do with our money.
The second front is wealth equality. As capital and land get concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people, do we really want the government to handcuff its own ability to do something about it?
