individuals on the No-Fly list and those with temporary restraining orders filed against them for domestic abuse should not be allowed to purchase a firearm
I support prohibiting firearm purchases by people on the No-Fly list and people with temporary domestic abuse restraining orders.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official House homepage for Lynch still shows a Gun Control issue section, and its visible latest-news items in the lookback window are dated May 19, 2026 and May 11, 2026, but they are about a town hall and mail-in voting legislation rather than any no-fly-list or restraining-order gun action.
Federal firearms law already bars possession and receipt of guns by people subject to qualifying court orders after notice and a hearing when the order restrains harassment, stalking, or threats to an intimate partner or child. That covers part of the restraining-order promise, though not every temporary order automatically qualifies.
The no-fly-list gun-ban idea has repeatedly failed in Congress, and the underlying no-fly list itself does not by current federal law bar firearm purchases. That leaves the no-fly-list portion of the promise unfulfilled.
Assessments
This promise has two parts. The no-fly-list portion was not delivered: current federal law does not generally prohibit firearm purchases solely because someone is on the No-Fly list, and repeated proposals to create that ban did not become law. The domestic-abuse-restraining-order portion is only partly satisfied: federal law already bars gun possession/receipt for people subject to certain qualifying protective orders after notice and a hearing, but that does not automatically cover all temporary domestic abuse restraining orders as stated. Because one half remains undone and the other is only partially met by existing law not clearly attributable to Lynch’s own delivery, the best overall judgment is partial rather than delivered.
