Fairfax, Va.— The executive director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), Chris W. Cox, today issued the following statement in response to political maneuvering in the United States Senate that prevented the passage of legislation to prohibit terrorists from obtaining firearms:
“Today, the American people witnessed an embarrassing display in the United States Senate. President Obama and his allies proved they are more interested in playing politics than addressing their failure to keep Americans safe from the threat of radical Islamic terrorism.
“We all agree that terrorists should not be allowed to purchase or possess firearms. We should all agree that law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a secret government list should not be denied their constitutional right to due process. These are not mutually exclusive ideas. It is shocking that the safety of the American people is taking a backseat to political theatre.
“We thank the majority of the senators for rejecting the gun control proposals of Senators Feinstein and Murphy. We applaud Senators Cornyn and Grassley for securing majorities for their common-sense proposals. We look forward to working with those interested in real solutions to keep the American people safe, including their right to defend themselves in the face of government failure."
Ban Muslims/Terrorists, not guns.
“All this did is give Clinton and the Dems ammo to run ads on the evil Republicans failing on gun control to protect the public from future terrorist attacks, etc.”

This can also be used to Trump’s advantage.
“Radical muslims attack US citizens, and Hillary’s reaction is to disarm those citizens by putting them on a secret government list.”
“Sticking the boot up thier arses yet again.”
Have you considered that maybe they like it?
Her “enough” statement sounds fascist to me. She does not respect our form of government nor our constitutional rights.
