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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
