| After the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla., some legislators are seeking to create a “no buy” list to block certain people from purchasing guns. Last month the Senate considered (but voted down) measures that would have prevented gun sales to anyone in the federal Terrorist Screening Database, a.k.a. the terrorist watch list. And while a proposal by Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, to deny sales to anyone on the government’s no-fly list did not pass last week, it was not voted down either, offering supporters hope.But Senator Collins’s proposal, like the earlier effort to create a no-buy list, ought to fail. Such measures would have a much smaller effect on gun sales and do much more harm to civil liberties than people realize. |

| It’s unfortunate that a significant portion of congressional Democrats have embraced a policy that would grant the executive branch the unconstrained power to trample individual rights. In recent weeks, Democratic senators and congressmen carried out a filibuster and a well-catered “sit-in” to advocate for the decidedly illiberal position that American citizens should be denied their constitutional rights based on their inclusion on secret government watch lists with no due process. |
