Yes. It is a no-fly list problem. I do not think they should be able to regulate travel without due process. Use the list to justify extra scrutiny after you fix it maybe.
I do not think you know what “amped up” means. I have only been posting Constitutional considerations to an online comment board. “Amped up” is different somehow.
When some people say “err on the side of caution” they mean “give up my rights and yours”. Surely you aren’t one of those. Any rational person would realize that my rights are not yours to give up or theirs to take away. That’s kind of what the word means.
As far as the TSA, they have never stopped a real terrorist threat with any greater efficiency than airport security police could. That function does not need to be under federal control.
As far as the Syrian you mention, I would have airport security check his bags.

I dont disagree but at least if they are going to put people on a no fly list there should be a way to get off that list.

so it is a no fly list problem. You guys get all amped up when someone says you cant buy a gun. Well I would rather err on the side of caution than say screw it we may offend someone that made it on this no fly list when they cannot buy a gun. Or I guess you guys are all in favor of scrapping the TSA anyway so shit why bother with any kind of security. Well then how about this for ya? You are here as a refugee from syria? You have no identification? Oh you were held at Gitmo for 3 years? Well no problem that line over there is for airplane tickets, that one is for drivers license and that line is for buying as much guns as you want. Oh yeah that line is for fertilizer welcome to America

“Why would we scrap a plan that could keep guns out of the hands of bad people?”
Because it denies rights guaranteed by the Constitution to Americans with no due process. Because these people have never been convicted of a crime. Because these people have never been charged with a crime. Because most of these people WILL NEVER be charged with a crime. Because these people have never even been notified that they are on the list to try and defend themselves. Because no one even knows how easily a bureaucrat can just add your name or what criteria would land you on the list
Other than that, I got nothin’..

The president-other than directing policy and very very limited executive order has little authority -the congress..thats another matter They can and do make laws regarding firearms. Its common misconception that because something isnt directly spelled out in the USC that Congress has no authority over it…congress makes laws regarding firearms..How do you think the assault weapon ban was passed under clinton? Who passes the laws? CONGRESS passed it.

Pretty good reason you are on the no fly list and until it gets straightened out you shouldnt be buying firearms. Sounds like a pretty simple solution to me. Why would anyone in their right mind think otherwise? I am all for gun rights and also pro hunter but I see no reason you cannot wait a little while to purchase another firearm to go along with the 749 other ones you have stockpiled in your closet. Seems to be no problem with the waiting period in effect now

They dont have direct control over gun rights no-but they can influence policy and do. Executive orders that contradict Constitution rights are worthless

A couple ? A couple???First, for that couple-their rights matter. And I have to tell you its more like thousands. A arbitrary list made up by some bureaucrat thats takes constitutional rights? Absurd. And your making a liberal , progressive “moms against gun violence argument “well take them just in case you do something” BTW, your DEAD WRONG on the DUI argument. You can receive a hardship license ,a nd in many states dont lose a license at all until the conviction date and a judges order. -(except in cases of refusal to submit to tests.) None the less its a non sequitur point-A Driver license- a right to drive, IS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. Seizing a Constitutional right and a driving privilege- two very different things. We dont punish people in the US for being “suspects or suspected” We have due process-we are all afforded it. Your argument is leftist to the core and the very basis for the liberal anti gun arguments

Right. And hes said worse if you look into his history:“I generally* oppose gun control, but* I support the ban on assault weapons* and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record. (Donald Trump, The America we deserve)
FULL STOP His own words.
