9. So you support the right of persons on the no fly list to buy weapons?

A person can't get on an airplane but they can by unlimited amounts of deadly weapons and ammunition. Really?

Your argument that every Muslim in America will be placed on the terrorist watch list is slippery slope thinking at the worst. Yes, it could happen, anything is possible but we are talking about millions of people. It is highly unlikely.

It seems to me that every time one of these shootings happens 2nd Amendment supporters chime in with "oh that wouldn't have stopped this PARTICULAR shooter--except of course when a proper background check would have at least made it more difficult for the shooter to acquire weapons such as in the case of the Charleston shooter.

Well why should we make it easy for terrorists, criminals, religious wackos and garden variety spouse abusers to get weapons?

Background checks at the most are a minor inconvenience for honest citizens and gun dealers. Why
