Rob Portman goes out on a limb, says maybe terrorists shouldn't have guns

Republican Ohio Sen. Rob Portman has some deep thoughts on the failure of gun control measures in the Senate Monday.

"I think there is a consensus, based on these votes, that you know, we should stop terrorists or suspected terrorists from being able to get a gun, and that we should have a due process to keep people from being on a list that they're not properly on," Portman said.

Good to know that you know there's consensus on keeping guns from terrorists, senator. That's really comforting, given that that 406,496 people were killed by guns on U.S. soil between 2001 and 2013. I guess it's just too much to ask that this consensus actually be translated into action.

It would also be good, you know, to have a due process to keep people who shouldn't be on the list off of the list in the first place. Why should it take concern about guns to get some due process into the list? Yeah, I know, silly question. The NRA.
