It will take it more difficult for them to buy guns and explosives. Not really. Many non-terrorists are are the watchlist or no-fly list, and many terrorists and active terrorist supporters are not on either list. Also terrorists can get weapons even if its illegal for them to do so. Black market sales, straw purchases, smuggling in weapons etc. and it won't keep an law-abiding citizens from buying a gun. It either will keep people on the lists from buying a gun or it wont' . Mostly it will keep law abiding people on the lists from getting a gun, while having much less effect on criminals and terrorists, while infringing on constitutional rights (not just 2nd amendment rights BTW), based on secret poorly vetted lists with no due process. The shooter is the beloved of the NRA Hunters, legitimate self defense shooters, etc. not criminals and terrorists.
