Would it be absolutely cynical to say the Senate responded to what appears to be a terrorist mass shooting by declining to ban the sale of guns to people on the terrorist watch list? |

Could it just be possible that, since the 5th Amendment forecloses government from denying anyone fundamental rights absent due process of law (probable cause, arrest, trial, conviction), that the Senate is actually FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION?
But that would never, ever dawn on the NYT editorial board. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
