38. Which I think was the point of the OP.

Graham and his ilk are, indeed, trying to have it both ways. Either the "no fly" list is an effective and constitutional law-enforcement tool, or it isn't. I would argue that it certainly seems to be neither effective nor constitutional, but if you argue that it's necessary to national security and therefore the constitutional issue should be overlooked, then it should also be overlooked in the matter of purchasing guns. At least Bloomberg's argument is logical, agree with it or not.
