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? |

"No person shall be . . . deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law;" - Amendment V
Due process must be followed BEFORE any right can be denied, not AFTERWARD. |

TO REMEMBER |
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
