Any of these names ring a bell?

>both my states' senators aren't on this list
I expected as much. No-fly list isn't one hundred percent accurate, so I don't agree with the no-fly list being used to determine who should or shouldn't be allowed to purchase a gun.

>dems reject republican no-fly list purchase delay
>reject expansion of mental health background check because it isn't broad enough
Stop trying to spin this. People are dying because the democrats refuse to consider reasonable proposals.

How would it have prevented him from buying a gun?
He had a federal security clearance. And what do you mean suspected of terrorism? There was no on going investigation against him.
But I know you, like the typical Democrat you'll ignore these points and reblog your picture.
Something something something due process.
Should I wear a pink triangle armband next?
To be honest, using the terror watchlist to bar people from buying guns seems like an impractical idea even if you overlook the sheer amount of people that government agencies have "investigated" over the years and how we really ought to curb back their powers before granting the potential to bar political opposition from owning guns.
But, let's say that last bit weren't a concern - what's to stop someone, or a group of people, from figuring out they were barred from buying a gun because they were on the terror watchlist? Because if they actually were a terrorist it probably wouldn't be that hard to put two and two together.
>>6426556
Yeah, because fuck due process.
Remember when Democrats condemned the terror watchlists and no fly lists, rightfully, as atrocities, and now they'll just gladly settle for it?

I don't love this board but basically every other or every third post in this thread explains why this would have been a monumentally terrible idea.

This is some seriously terrible fanfiction. Fucking retard didn't even bother to research the setting first. If he actually paid attention to the lore at all he'd know those two groups fucking despise each other.
>neither of my worthless sens are there
Useless bastards.
Suspected, no charges. Fuck you fascist.
You know what else could have hindered the Pulse Massacre? A gun.
>>6426556
Background checks wouldn't have prevented the massacre. The dude had a security background.
Also I bet most of those senators are jews.

If criminals want guns, they can get guns regardless the legislation. See Brussells and Paris

There was an armed cop there, and he wasn't able to stop it. Adding "a gun" is unlikely to have made much difference, since that one extra armed person likely wouldn't have been in a position to take down the shooter. You'd really need most of them, or at least a significant number, to be armed for it to make a difference.

Those weren't mere criminals though, those were well organized terrorists. The average criminal doesn't know how to get a gun illegally without running the risk of getting caught.

To illustrate, there's about 8000 or so murders with guns each year, the very most of these are committed by gang members, against other gang members, for gang member reasons, most of this gang violence is concentrated in very particular parts of the nation, California is a common example of this (though it isn't any longer quite the gangland melee that was South Central L.A in the 80's and 90's), Minnesota has it's share, and there's actually a notable amount in Alaska, subsisting on local oil money.
Clearly, criminals don't have problems arming themselves.
Hell, it's not hard to arm yourself under strict laws, Australian criminals make their own weapons, often sawed off shotguns and home made automatic weapons.

This here is a Luty, it can be made from basically any common kind of hardware store materials in the first world and doesn't require any advanced tooling or expertise.
These have cropped up a lot in Australia ever since the bans.
