If you are of the mind that one responsibility of our government to help ensure safety of its people......then you may have trouble arguing against a policy that keeps suspected 'dangerous' people off of airplanes.....IF you accept that those people are too dangerous to fly on your plane, I think most people are willing to keep them from possessing a gun.
I'm completely unfamiliar with the small print of 'no-fly laws/rules' as well as unfamiliar with the language of propose 'gun-control legislation'. However, as libertarian minded as I consider myself, I think I might be able to get behind well written and well executed law that mandates a list of people that should neither fly, nor have a gun.
IF we do the 'no-fly list' thing well, I don't see any reason the people on that list need to have a gun. So fix the no-fly thing and go ahead and then prevent those same people from having guns. Makes sense enough to me.
