It's meant to do just that.

Subjective criteria to exercise a right is never a good idea.

This is just fear disguised as innocent concern.

We already have the Patriot Act to "catch" the actual serious stuff and not Mets fans.

As we've seen repeatedly recently, a mass murderer posts hatred online, posts plans to shoot some place up online, purchases guns, and follows through on said online postings.

How does a society stop such a mass murderer? Our current laws do nothing, and apparently any attempt to remedy this situation gets tossed out by a conservative judge.

How does reasonable gun legislation ever get passed in this country?

It wasn't like New York was demanding to seize and melt down firearms.

Trump even said at one point "we've got to get the guns" when asked how to stop mass murder events in the U.S.
