Any American denied the ability to buy a firearm would have the opportunity to have his or her case heard before a federal district judge, who would be required to reach a decision within 14 days. The burden of proof would be on the government, and plaintiffs who prevail would recover their lawyers’ fees.
The American people expect us to act.

What judge would sign off on anyone buying a firearm let alone a person on a watch list? |

Due process must be followed BEFORE any right can be denied, not AFTERWARD. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
