Would it be absolutely cynical to say the Senate responded to what appears to be a terrorist mass shooting by declining to ban the sale of guns to people on the terrorist watch list? |

Could it just be possible that, since the 5th Amendment forecloses government from denying anyone fundamental rights absent due process of law (probable cause, arrest, trial, conviction), that the Senate is actually FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION?
But that would never, ever dawn on the NYT editorial board. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
