This thread should be in politics.
Anyways, this isn't the same gun issue as like Adam Lanza was a gun issue. I mean, Mateen had anger issues, was a jerk, but lots of guys in security have similar issues. He wasn't crazy like Lanza. You could argue that he was double-vetted and was vetted more than the average gun owner since he was employed at a security company.
What will likely happen I predict is that information about being on a terror watch list will be forwarded to the FBI headquarters when vetting gun purchasers. This will have the effect of causing extra scrutiny on the applicant, and more will be dinged on borderline bullshit grounds.
You see, the fact is that the FBI background check system is overwhelmed and they don't have the resources to give a proper check of everyone who applies. That and there is a 3 day shall issue, meaning that if the FBI is overwhelmed then lots of people just get issued their gun automatically without effective oversight. The reform will basically ensure that people on the terror watch list are flagged for extra attention.
