Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Monday a gun control bill authored by Democrats would prevent another terrorist attacks like the ones carried out in New Jersey and New York this weekend.
"We can argue from now on about whether this bill would have prevented this weekend's attacks," Reid, D-Nev., said. "But one thing is for sure, it would prevent the next attack."
Democrats have authored a bill that would ban people on a federal terror watch list from purchasing guns or explosives.
House and Senate Republicans have authored their own legislation, which would put in place a three-day waiting period for those on the terror-watch list who try to purchase guns or explosives. Democrats blocked the GOP bill in the Senate, and the House GOP majority has refused to take up the bill authored by Democrats.

This "Terror Watch List" they're talking about is one where ANYONE can be put on the list without any judicial oversight whatsoever.
In other words, you are put on the list for no good reason other than a nameless bureaucrat says-so.
The dems are again showing they are enemies of the Constitution.
Is this common sense pressure cooker control? No?? Then how is it going to stop another bombing?
What a heaping pile of compost.
Reid is far gone he doesn’t know about he Minn Mall attack.
Does the bill close the pressure cooker show loophole?
Really, Harry?
Terrorists would never buy a gun illegally or smuggle some in across our porous borders, would they?
How about if they already have their weapons?
This bill wouldn’t stop them and it does nothing about IEDs.
This is aimed at disarming citizens.
This is the current tactic by Dems:
Allow attacks to call for gun control.
He is so full of it. They use pressure cookers and bombs and he is talking guns? Please!!!!
Sad, twisted, evil, little man.
Reminds me Gollum. Too much exposure to the left does that to some people.
So Harry, what about the guy in Florida back in June who was still permitted his purchases even though he was on a watch list and one gun shop owner told the FBI of his odd behaviour? Oops, I forgot that his old man was in the crowd at a Hillary rally shortly after that bloody rampage at the nightclub, so I guess it was all OK then (do I really need the sarc?).
Um, they made bombs, Harry. B. O. M B. S. What part of that don’t you get?
The Somali used a knife and the Afghani made a bomb, but Dingy wants more “gun control”.
We need more muslim control.
As usual Dingy Harry is full of more crap than a Christmas goose.
The exercise machine’s been banging him around again.
Does he intend to ban knifes, box cutters, meat cleavers, axes, trucks, cars, planes, cell phones too?
Be far better to just ban muslims.
I hope his “exercise machine” pays him another late night visit soon.
Harry, you’re late to this game, WAY late.
David Dinkins beat you by about 25 years, calling for more gun control in NYC after a tourist from Utah was knifed on the subway.
So you lost to a loser.
Sounds like he might have suffered some brain damage when that 12 yr old boy he was trying to have his way with, beat him up.
Psst...Harry
Achmed seems to have master IEDs.
