Setting a new record for lethal insanity, Washington’s pro-gun absolutists insist that suspected terrorists must have an unfettered right to buy assault weapons rivaling those wielded by ISIS in Paris.
These members of Congress are radical fundamentalists of the Second Amendment kind, their extremism so intense that they stifle legislation aimed at denying weapons to potentially violent radicals while at the same time declaring that Syrian refugees, even toddlers, are security threats.
The NRA and its cowardly supporters in Congress blocked passage of the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act, a bipartisan bill introduced in February by Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Caf.) and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.).
The legislation would ban the "sale or distribution of firearms or explosives to any individual whom the Attorney General has determined to be engaged in terrorist activities."
It would also allow those on the watch list -- a group that includes 700,000 Americans -- to challenge the ban on an individual basis.
Earlier incarnations of the bill in 2005 and 2007 were supported by the Republican administration under President George W. Bush, but were killed after aggressive opposition by the NRA.

They have been.
The gun nuts constantly gin up fear that Obama is going to take away their guns and the rubes buy more as a "hedge" against "tyranny.
But there are never enough guns, or enough ammo.

More guns = more security. How can you have too much security? Buy more guns!
