There’s been much focus since the Orlando nightclub shooting on finding new ways to prevent terrorist events like it from happening again on U.S. soil. The U.S. House has been particularly focused on the issue, even during summer recess.
While radicalization and homegrown terrorism certainly need to be stamped out, and the House proposals seek to do that, they’re also concerning for those who care about due process and the rule of law.
Democrats have proposed an outright ban for those on terrorist watch lists and the country’s no-fly list from purchasing firearms. It’s an explicitly unconstitutional proposal.

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
