Just some questions to think about. Personally, I believe this idea is just a show to cover up the fact that the gov can't locate and stop mass killers. Just an action to show that they are not just ignoring the issue. They just have no idea what to do, so they are just shooting in the dark hoping to hit something. Banning the no fly list from purchasing guns is tantamount to, or less effective than banning the mentally ill from gun purchase. Not all mentally ill are dangerous and not all no fly list subjects are dangerous. Not all mentally ill are documented and not all terrorists are on the no fly list. But, I guess this administration believes that any action is better than no action. Another inept idea that will achieve little if any results. Politics in action.

I felt obligated to show both quotes I will comment toward.
I agree with most of the first post. I would add that the politicians have a major problem when they call for more stringent gun laws. The problem? In the cities and states here in the USA with the most stringent gun laws they also have the highest gun crime and gun death rates. And I would add they will not take any laws of control that might be seen by special interest or minority groups or potential votes as an afront to their group or hurt their feelings (and I avoid using the detestable term politically correct!).
While entitled to your opinion, you already know your knee jerk response is nothing more than knee jerk disrespect of anothers opinions. You and yhose like you continue to demonstrate the complete lack of ability to respect any other opinions than those you support or agree with. As a result you are unable to carry on a cogent discussion. Resorting to restating what was said by another person, while being derogatory and disrespectful of others rights.
