Efter skydningen i San Bernadino, CA, i decemember erklærede præsident Obama i sin ugentlige radiotale at det var "sindssygt" at lade mistænkte terrorister på landets flyveforbudsliste købe skydevåben. Kort efter introducerede senatets demokrater en foranstaltning som ville have forhindret enhver på den føderale terror-overvågningsliste, også kendt som flyveforbudslisten, i at kunne købe skydevåben i USA. Foranstaltningen gik ikke igennem eftersom senatets republikanere nedstemte den.
