I think, for me, anybody who is a terrorist should not have access to firearms.

I hope that the entire Senate votes to say that if you're on the terrorist watch list - not just the no-fly list, which is a much more targeted list, but the terrorist watch list - you should not be able to buy a weapon.

I do believe that we should keep guns out of the hands of terrorists, would-be terrorists, and a lot of other people.

In my opinion, the only people who should have handguns are the police.

Anyone with a gun can go out and commit an act of terrorism, even without a political affiliation.

If somebody wants to kill people, they don't need a gun to do it.

Just getting something in the books that makes sure people with mental illness and terrorists can't get guns would be a good idea.

We are not saying that every idiot out there should own a gun - and there should be better background checks on guns. Not everybody should have the right.

Would-be terrorists cannot so much as board a plane without a thorough screening, yet we give them nearly unfettered access to very dangerous weapons.

Obviously, we think it's important to make sure that firearms do not get in the hands of people who are criminals, convicted felons or adjudicated as mentally ill.
