I don’t recall DT definitively saying he wants a ban for those on No Fly list. My impression of the meeting is he’s getting info. Maybe he used that wording to troll the media like he always does...
And that’s my problem with the NRA. Most of the gun control laws on the books were passed with their blessing.
What? Omar Mateen was on none of those lists. Omar Mateen was full on sharia. How about banning Sharia?
Be a lot better to just ban the muslims from America.They’re totally incompatible with the Constitution.

Paging Professor Raoul X.
Every American, except the Muslims, are on their stupid “watch list.”
Throw those GOP bums out and put in non-politically correct lovers of freedom and America.
Get ‘em while you can.
We do not know how one gets on the watch list, nor do we know if it is possible to get off the watch list, nor do we now who is on the watch list.
With this administration, it’s probably people who show too much reverence for the Constitution, patriotism for America and other things they find abhorent.
So you are an NRA member eh? We are watching you.
Apparently, mere suspicion is sufficient to deny citizens their civil and due process rights—Am I right, Mr. Trump?
"...Restricting gun buys for those on watchlist..."
1. Who decides to put someone on the watch list?
2. What standard of proof is required?
3. How does the individual get notified?
4. How does he appeal the determination?
5. Who pays for his legal representation?
In reality, the “watch list” needs to be run through the court system, with all its checks and limitations on governmental power. AND that includes the right to counsel.
The same must apply to any “mental illness” determination.
1. Who decides what is “mental illness?”
2. What standard of proof is required?
Etc.
I think this latter one is even more dangerous than the watch list. A Leftist shrink could decide that all conservatives are mentally ill, or that wanting to own a gun or being a Christian is sufficient evidence of mental illness. I trust them all about as far as I can throw them.
GOP passes this THEY LOSE house and senate BANK ON IT!!!!!
Chris, you ignorant slut ...
What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand? What part of "shall not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law" do you not understand?
But, if they do it, there better be a great deal of transparency, safeguards and an appeal process that forces the government into a Federal Court.
And it would STILL be Unconstitutional.
Let’s Insert More Government Incompetence! bump for later...
Oh now they want to disarm us after Obama let almost 1,000,000 radical Islam Muslims into our country? The enemy is already here ... He’s crazy if he things Americans are going to fork over their guns at the drop of a hat....or anytime soon!! Hell no!!!! come and take it!!!!
The tail is wagging the dog
watch lists are fundamentally in Contradiction to the constitution.
Imagine you not being able to buy a pen or cell phone, or publish an article, because you are on a watch list.
the same thing will happen to watch lists that happened to DHS. They will be co-opted by so-called liberals to restrict further the rights of ordinary American citizens, while traitors, illegal aliens, and people of certain protected so-called faiths skate.
I hope that Republicans in Congress realize this and don’t throw away freedoms for temporary feelings of security. And what happens when the next jihadist terrorism occurs? Yet more ratcheting of freedoms?
Restricting our existing freedoms is equivalent to blaming ourselves. The blame here is in the White House and a Congress that has failed to curb excessive immigration of people who continually demonstrate their refusal to assimilate by terrorist atrocities.
