House Dems Plan to Oppose Gun Control Bill They Demanded During Sit-In - The Truth About Guns
According to CNN, House Democrats are planning to oppose the “No Fly, No Buy” legislation now being proposed by Republicans and projected for a vote following the Independence Day recess.
Following the shooting in Orlando there has been a flurry of Congressional activity to try and enact a proposal entitled “No Fly, No Buy” which would prohibit citizens on a “terrorist watch list” from purchasing firearms.
The idea gained traction because the perpetrator of the shooting in Orlando had previously been on the watch list, investigated by the FBI, cleared, and removed from the list five years prior to the purchase of the firearms he used in the terror attack.
Democrats in the House and Senate have put forth multiple proposals which would formalize the process already in place in which the FBI is alerted when someone on the watch list attempts to purchase a firearm. They then have the ability to interdict and stop that sale.
The proposal by Democrats they would have all such sales stopped by default, requiring the citizen to appeal that decision through the court system.
Many Republicans have pointed out that this places an enormous financial burden on the individual (who would have to finance their own legal challenge with no guarantee that it would be reimbursed), and is the exact opposite of the way the legal system is supposed to work — namely the concept of “innocent until proven guilty.”
The burden of proof would be on the individual to prove that they aren’t a terrorist instead of on the state to prove that the individual is an actual danger to society.
Republicans have produced their own version of the legislation which places the burden of proof on the government. According to their legislation the Attorney General would have three days following the interdicted firearms transaction to file an action with the court to make that purchase denial permanent.
