So what are they saying? Translation: we want to seem like we’re doing something, while it wouldn’t actually do anything to prevent the shootings but would take away people’s Constitutional rights.

Josh Earnest is talking about banning those on the No-Fly List from buying guns. But there is no conviction or even charge required to get on the list. In fact some famous people who somehow made it onto the list include Ted Kennedy and David Nelson of Ozzie and Harriet. Plus, once you apply for a gun and are on the list, apparently the FBI is pinged. That is the point where if they actually thought you a real threat, they could simply flunk your background check. So there is no need to actually remove people’s constitutional rights because someone decided to put them on a list.
