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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
