Can we make such attacks less likely by limiting access to the tools of the terrorist trade? Some have revived calls for a ban on “assault weapons,” a small subset of which were prohibited by federal statute from 1994 to 2004, when the law expired. But as I explain below, that ban had virtually no effect on gun violence. Others have proposed adding “suspected terrorists” to the list of those ineligible to purchase guns at licensed gun stores, a sensible suggestion so long as Congress adopts fair procedures and clear standards for so designating individuals. |

| Seriously? Why are terrorist web sites, imbedded terrorists in refugees, open borders, radical Mosques allowed to continue in action? Do what France did and found in the Mosques. (Full auto weapons and bombs.) They shut down 160 Mosques. Now that would stop terrorists but that is common sense terrorist control. |

| Can those suspected conservatives, returning vets, also be banned from gun sales? You know, how the head of DHS said they are a great threat. |

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 |
