(CNSNews.com) – House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) said on Thursday that infringing on Americans' right to keep and bear arms guaranteed under the Second Amendment of the Constitution will not stop terrorist acts in the United States.
Massachusetts Democrats are at the forefront of the demand to deny Second Amendment rights to anyone placed (erroneously or not) on a terror watch list, including the No Fly List. U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Reps. Seth Moulton and Katherine Clark, and State Representative Lori Ehrlich are among those demanding that anyone whose name appears on such lists be denied access to guns.
"The FBI should have the authority to block gun sales to anyone they believe is a terrorist," Warren said on the Senate floor, apparently forgetting everything she ever learned about due process in law school. Note the absence of any sort of judicial review posited by the former Harvard Law professor.
