GOP leaders announced late last week that they would hold a vote as soon as Wednesday on legislation that, among other provisions, would prevent suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms if the government can prove within three business days that there is probable cause to believe an individual has terrorist ties or sympathies.
But GOP leaders are now encountering resistance from some Republican members, particularly conservatives.
...
The House Freedom Caucus, a group of about 40 hard-line conservatives, said its members would not support the bill unless they could make changes to it, although caucus co-founder Matt Salmon, R-Arizona, said they do not yet have a specific list of amendments they want to receive a vote. |

There is no 'balance' to be had if a condition of the law is the circumvention of due process.
In consideration of fundamental rights, due process must be followed BEFORE any suspension, not AFTER.
There is absolutely NO room to make even ONE exception, because once that seal has been broken other exceptions will follow. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
