Excuse me while I don my asbestos long-johns.
It's fairly reasonable to say "Let's keep terrorists from buying guns," but what the NRA is objecting to is preventing people who's names are on the DHS terrorism watch lists from buying guns.
It helps if you remember that the watch lists DHS is using has been known to be populated with
babies,
antiwar activists and
innocent people, placed on the list just to meet a quota.
By all means, of course we should block criminals and terrorists from buying guns, but we do so in a smart way. Innocent people have been put on watch lists just for shits and grins - they shouldn't be denied firearms if they're law-abiding.
