McConnell: I might be open to “serious suggestions” on gun control after I meet with the FBI

All I have are the tweets from CBS right now. I’ll update with the full quote once it’s available.

In the meantime: W-w-w-what?

(TWEETS-AT-LINK)

I assume he’s thinking about limiting gun purchases by people on the terror watch list, which Democrats have been pushing for months. Hillary Clinton reiterated her support for the idea yesterday — as did the Trump campaign. When Bloomberg News e-mailed Corey Lewandowski to ask if Trump still believes what he said in November that “If somebody is on a watch list and an enemy of state and we know it’s an enemy of state, I would keep them away, absolutely,” Lewandowski said yep, as far as he knows. Defending the right of someone under suspicion of terrorism to buy a gun makes as much sense to the average voter, I’d guess, as defending child pornography, but there’s a sound reason for it. The list is enormous and there are no due-process protections governing who lands on it....

To all liberals: Wouldn’t this be refusing a person the right to own a gun based on religion? Mmmmm?

Omg! My guns in my basement are the problem! They sing to me at night like sirens in the sea. They strum a little tune telling me to use them inappropriately every single night!! /sarc.

All foreigners in this country should be required to be a U.S. citizen for 25 years before they can purchase a gun. Fifty years if they want to purchase an AR-15.

This doesn't sound like it would have its constitutionality upheld if challenged in court.

Basically, the FBI would be able to take away someone's constitutional rights by simply placing them on a list, without having been convicted or even charged with anything.

The GOPe intends to completely roll over, so as to leave Trump unsupported.

This list stuff is unconstitutional bs.

Will FReepers be considered “enemies of the state”?

It would just take a pen and a phone to declare us as such.

Silly, of corse not. You and I are on Hillary’s list and it has NOTHING to do with religion.

Go ahead and attack Americans for the actions of an insane islamist, Bitch, wouldn’t expect anything more of you.

We can’t indict a whole religion for the actions of one man, but we sure can indict all Americans, can’t we?

That ain’t the goal. What they want is for FReepers and others who oppose the administration’s policies to be included on some sort of “watch list.”

Just like when the Patriot Act got expanded to monitor ALL telephone calls, instead of those deemed “suspicious.”
