He even used the example of someone who merely visited an ISIL website being someone who should be restricted from buying a firearm. He didn't say that person wrote violent things on the website, supported the website financially, etc.

The Assault Weapons Ban was clearly an effort to restrict firearms in certain configurations to law-abiding people.
