Last week the House Democrats took over the floor and staged a 25-hour sit in demanding a vote to make it illegal for somebody on the government’s terror watch list to purchase a gun. It looks like that might have paid off for the Dems:

From The Hill:

In a conference call Thursday, Ryan told rank-and-file Republicans that the House will take up a terrorism package that will include measures to disrupt radicalization and recruitment, as well as a provision to prevent suspected terrorists from purchasing guns, according to a source on the call.
[…]
Ryan on the call reiterated that it’s important to ensure suspected terrorists can’t obtain guns, calling it common sense. But the Speaker said he wanted to approach the issue deliberatively to protect due process and Second Amendment rights.
