Sen. Susan Collins, R- Maine, was discussing her plan with GOP leaders and said she expected the Senate to vote on her proposal. "I remain encouraged," she said. There was no immedi- ate word from Senate Ma- jority Leader Mitch McCo- nnell, R-Ky., on whether a vote would occur. And it re- mained unclear whether she could attract enough sup- port to win if a vote were held.Inanominoussign,the National Rifle Association's chief lobbyist criticized Col- lins' emerging effort, though he stopped short of outright opposition to it. "According to reports, Sen. Collins and others would prefer to continue to talk about gun control and ignore the growing threat from ISIS," an acronym for the Islamic State group, the NRA's Chris W. Cox said in a statement. Cox said keep- ing guns from terrorists and "providing meaningful due process are not mutually ex- clusive."Thatcouldbeaimed at a provision in Collins' bill that allows people to ap- peal to federal courts after they've been denied a gun, not before it happens. Collins was pushing her proposalatatimewhenelec- tion-year politics has made partisan compromise on guns difficult to achieve. Even after the June 12 mass shooting in Orlando by a sympathizer of Islamic State extremists that left 49 people dead, neither party has seemed eager to cut a deal that might anger its most loyal voters — NRA- backing conservatives and pro-gun control liberals. The government's over- all terrorist watch list has 1 million people on it. Col- lins' proposal would let fed- eral prosecutors bar guns to two narrower groups of sus- pected terrorists: the no-fly list with 81,000 people and the selectee list with 28,000 people. Selectees are people who canflyafterunusuallyinten- sive screening. Nearly all the people on all three lists are foreigners. Under Collins' proposal, Americans denied guns could appeal their re- jection to the U.S. Court of Appeals.Inaddition,theFBI wouldbe notifiedifsomeone whohasbeenonthebroader terrorist watch list in the past five years buys a gun. Senators expressing sup- port for Collins' plan in- cluded Democrats Heidi Heitkamp of North Da- kota, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico and Tim Kaine of Virginia, along with in- dependent Angus King of Maine, who usually backs Democrats. Republicans supporting her included Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Jeff Flake of Arizona and Lindsay Gra- ham of South Carolina.
