Professor Fredrick Vars published an op-ed in Jurist proposing a compromise federal approach to the problem of guns and terrorism.

“No one wants terrorists to have guns, but the two parties moved on before building on this common ground,” he wrote. “While nothing passed Congress, the seeds of a compromise are buried in the failed Senate bills.”
