Very strongly agree

Yes

Barack Obama has publicly stated his support for banning people on the no-fly list from purchasing guns and ammunition.

Strongly agree

Yes, but not until the no-fly list screening process is improved for accuracy and includes due process

Obama has advocated for both stricter gun control measures and improvements to the no-fly list screening process. He would likely agree with this statement, but perhaps not as strongly as others because it suggests a delay in implementing gun control measures until the no-fly list screening process is improved.

Disagree

No, it is unconstitutional to deny someone’s rights without due process

While Obama respects the constitutional rights of individuals, he has also expressed concern about the ease with which people on the no-fly list can purchase firearms. He would likely disagree with this statement, but not as strongly as others because he also values due process.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and ban the sale of guns and ammunition to anyone

Very strongly disagree

No, this is a slippery slope that will eventually ban the sale of guns to anyone

Obama has never suggested that all gun sales should be banned, so he would likely disagree with the assertion that banning gun sales to those on the no-fly list is a step towards banning all gun sales.
