Makes sense - Gun violence a matter of Homeland Security

"Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson stipulated Tuesday that responsible homeland security entails passing meaningful gun control reforms.

“I believe that meaningful, responsible gun control is part of homeland security and it’s something we have to address,” Johnson said in an interview with CBS “This Morning,” following Sunday’s shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub that left 50 people dead, including the shooter, and 43 others injured.

Democrats are renewing calls to bar people on the terrorism watch list from purchasing weapons of war, such as the AR-15 used in the massacre. The Orlando gunman had also once been on a terrorist watch list."
