asssault rifle ban for those on terror watch list - at least

[Crepuscular]

19. ...

I'm sorry, the ideal of congress expending political capital to pass an AWB that would only apply to individuals on the no-fly list is such an absurd idea as to be laughable.

How many individuals on the no-fly list have purchased "assault weapons" (whatever the particular definition of that imaginary item is) in the past several years?

Next, how many individuals on the no-fly list have purchased "assault weapons" in the last several years and have used them to kill multiple individuals?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that number is ZERO.

Taking this absurd suggestion to it's conclusion, suppose, just suppose that such an absurdly narrow law was passed, that it was not overturned by the courts for denying due process and that it prevented a would be terrorist from purchasing an "assault weapon", as defined under this law, what pray tell would prevent them from either using a straw purchaser to obtain the needed weapon, as was done in the recent California shooting, or as an alternative legally legally purchasing the rifle that I pictured earlier, which is AWB compliant in all 50 states?

That rifle weighs 6 lbs, is chambered in .223 (same as an AR15, you can use bullet weights from 50 to 90 grn), uses standard AR15 magazines, (10, 20, 30 rnd), has mild recoil and can easily cycle through a 30 round mag in less then 60 seconds. It also has a folding stock which would aid concealment.

Such a law, as proposed by the OP, would be a "feel good" gesture, that like the previous AWB, would give the illusion of actually doing something about guns but in reality would do absolutely nothing to thwart gun violence.
