Here is a partial, I repeat, PARTIAL list of the seemingly endless abuses of power by the BATFE. It ranks with the IRS for ignoring laws, violating civil rights, and doing so with impunity. These people routinely commit worse crimes than the ones they prosecute. You want to trust a bunch of idiots who "lost" more than 2500 guns to Mexican dope cartels?
I have a lot of respect for law enforcement. My old man was a cop. I was an MP. I have absolutely NO respect for an agency as corrupt and incompetent as the BATFE.
Do not try to play stupid little games with me. You seem to be one of those people who worship at the altar of AUTHORITY, who feel that some dipstick bureaucrat, unelected and practically unaccountable can be trusted to do anything more important than change the newspaper in the birdcage. Your version of AUTHORITY is all-powerful, omniscient, and somehow completely benevolent, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. Here is the link I mentioned.

Do not try to equate my disdain for bureaucrats with a desire to see law enforcement privatized. Your comment makes no sense whatsoever. I have yet to see you furnish a single cite or source for YOUR claims.

The Cambridge Dictionary seems to explain it best:
Tyranny. Unlimited authority or use of power; or a government which exercises such power without any control or limits.
Black man? How about a white woman?
How about the whole government that is hell bent on controlling what I drive, what I eat, how I cool and heat my home, and mostly, taking thirty percent of my hard earned wages in taxes to spend as it pleases. And if I buck the system, said government will put me in a cage....or a FEMA camp.

We already have a list like that. It's called convicted felons and domestic abusers. They are prohibited from purchasing firearms. In 2014, more than 76,000, (yes, THOUSAND ) people were flagged for attempting to purchase a firearm. While a lot of these were false flags, a lot were not. The government you trust with these "terror watch lists" prosecuted less than 100 of these cases, and got less than 30 (I think it was 27 ) convictions. Yet you want these morons to crap all over the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments for some kind of "gun control." That's like a cop giving you a ticket because he thinks you're considering running a stop sign. What we need are professional law enforcement, instead of these Goddamn DHS and BATFE fucking cowboys, to enforce the laws we already have.

The simple answer is; nothing - except Democrats want it. Now, had Obama and/or the Democrats called for open carry Nation wide, the GOP would have come out swinging against it - because they feel they have to.

To be fair, the Democrats act the same stupid way. If a Republican called for clean water, the Democrats would introduce a bill repealing the clean water act.

I swear, every time I see the Congress in action, I have to make sure I haven't gotten onto the kindergarten channel by mistake.

The majority of people, apparently you also, no offense, don't realize that there are at least 25,000 US citizens on these lists. It is not "a" list, there are at least three. You can be put on this list basically on someone's unsupported word, or by mistake, and you have very little in the way of a remedy. There have been several people put on the list by mistake who have had to go to court at their own expense to clear their names. Included on this list are toddlers under the age of five, at least 2 US Marshals, a number of active duty service people who had the misfortune to have a name similar to someone else who was on the list, probably wrongfully. A nun was put on this list, as were Senator Ted Kennedy, a Georgia Congressman, and a Cub Scout.
The list compilers place more than 98% of the "recommendations" on the list. Most are unproven accusations, or mistaken identity. The standards for making this list would be thrown out of any court. How would you like to be one of the 25,000 plus innocent US citizens placed on a terror watch list, with no proof, no due process, no chance to face your accuser, and have to engage the service of an attorney at your own expense to clear your name?
Do you support a law that would be blatantly unconstitutional, because it violates the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments? Do you think that inalienable rights are actually privileges to be extended or revoked at the whim of the Government du jour? Lastly, do you ACTUALLY think there are 25,000 US citizens who deserve to be on a terrorist watch list?
