Mass shooting at LGBT nightclub in Orlando.

The shooter was on an FBI watch list. In December, the GOP blocked an effort to prohibit gun sales to people on the watch list.

Everyone knows that the GOP is idiotic.

Stop.

No. The GOP has blood on its hands in many, many ways. They are fully responsible for allowing events like this.

Amen, brother!

It's not just the GOPs fault guys, that's too simple.  Really, it's Dubya's fault because Mesopotamia was heaven on Earth until Evil GWB invaded and made everybody go crazy and start killing each other.

And he stole the election!  It's that stupid Ralph Nader that's really to blame.  Of course if Al Gore had a personality....really, the blame goes to Bill Clinton for picking such a sh**tty VP.  On the other hand, he shouldn't have won so I guess that settles it.  GHWB is to blame for this shooting because he lost to Clinton/Gore.

The terror watch list weapon ban would have been unconstitutional, as good of an idea as it is.

Would it, though? Felons can't buy guns, more or less, so what would be wrong with banning people on that list from purchasing firearms? Would the Heller decision have anything to do with this?

If we have people on watch lists, it really doesn't make sense to allow them to purchase guns. The only issue I have with it is that innocent people on the list would have a hassle, so maybe they should have tiers and only ban certain people on that list from owning firearms. Having a quick way to appeal your standing on the list would be good, too.

The problem wasn't putting people on "the List" on some kind of "no guns for you registry", the problem was that "the List" (listS really) was stupid, it was too easy to get on it, nearly impossible to get off of it.  "the List" was broken.

There is no "debate." They have already won. Well played, gun fetishists.

Indeed.  Not sure why you guys still feel the need to insult non-criminals every time it happens if you're aware of this fact.
