Honestly, I’m confused as to why a new law is needed to implement this. If a background check is requested by someone on a terror watchlist, just put the request on hold and go investigate the person. FBI/ATF start with fresh location information.
The left won’t settle for that. They want instant and permanent ban on anyone on “the list.” A gun ban in effect. All they have to do is redefine “terrorist.”
We’ve now entered into the “If you want your gun, you can keep your gun” part of the debate.

It’s an election year and they want to look like they are doing something.
If a person on a “watchlist” can buy a gun and go on a shooting spree they were probably not being watched by anyone. It’s just a typical dumbocrat government program.
