If someone can’t articulate what restrictions & checks are already in place, nor explain how new checks will change anything, then that someone sure shouldn’t be making violently-enforced policy about it.

“Those on the terrorist watch list shouldn’t be able to buy guns!” If they’re in that list, why the he11 are they on the street? Not like they’ll be prohibited from buying box cutters, fertilizer, or gasoline (all used for even higher body counts).

Exactly right. They say there are around one million people on the “terrorist watch list”. So they would deny a constitutional right without due process to as many as one million people?
