Hold it tight to your head.
How about if we just agree to keep people from the terrorist watch list from getting one?
Legally.
I think You forgot to add the word "legally" to the end of your sentence.
And even though I might agree (in a perfect world) that anyone on a terrorist watch list should not be permitted to buy any guns "
legally." I would love to read your explanation for how you intend to keep them from getting their hands on any guns
Illegally.
Also. . . what is your plans for anyone who is on a terrorist list who ALREADY has guns and may not even know they are a terrorist watch list? Are they any less of a danger to the rest of us?
Yep, legally, why make it easy for them? What's the down side?
The down side is that the Government has no transparency in who is on the list and what the criteria is for them putting you on the list.
First off, we are talking about a million people, I would guess most belong on the list. However why is it not until gun control that you actually care about the civil rights of people on the lists? I don't remember wingnuts caring about people on the no fly list right to travel, how come? Anyway, there should be proper channels for people to appeal their designation on the list. I think the Democrats have that in their plan.
You have not answered my other questions. Why not? How are you going to keep anyone on a terrorist watch list from getting a gun ILLEGALLY? And, what are you going to do about anyone who is on one of those lists who already HAVE guns?
I did answer your question. You can't keep people from ilegally buying weapons via gun control laws. What you can do is shut down gun show and private sale loop holes, have an effectual background check system and keep terrorists and others from easily buying legal weapons. I wouldn't expect that to solve everything.
Just like banning medication without a prescription to block all sales of illegal prescription medication. Doesn't mean we should open up psych medicine to the masses.
