(WBAP/KLIF) – Senator John Cornyn has introduced legislation called the SHIELD Act he says would stop terrorists from buying a gun but also protecting the Second Amendment for law-abiding Americans.
Anyone wanting to buy a gun who is on a terror watch list would immediately start a red flag reaction.
Cornyn’s legislation, he says, goes further than other ideas.
“It would give the FBI the capability to take these people off the street,” Cornyn said. “If they are too dangerous to fly, if they are too dangerous to buy a gun then they are too dangerous to be living freely in the community.”
Similar efforts, he says, have received bipartisan support in the past.
