It wouldn't.
...but the Democrats are not interested in stopping gun violence, they are interested in gun control and people control.
The Republican backed legislation most likely will not do anything to stop a terrorist attack or a terrorist from obtaining weapons. It will not however, put any restrictions, penalties, or taxes on Law Abiding Citizens, unlike the Gun-Control legislation proposed by the Democrats.
...but what it will do is shut down Hillary's and Obama's campaign strategy that the NRA and the Republicans are responsible for shutting down legislation that would have stopped this attack, when in fact it was the Democrats that shot down "watch list" legislation.
Now it's up to the Democrats to explain why they killed Legislation, that they claim, would have stopped this attack.

This is a political maneuver by the NRA and the Republicans and it is a good one. The one thing that is needed to make it work however, is for Gun Owners and NRA members to be smart enough to know that they are fighting for you and not against you.
