Obama: It's 'insane' that people on the 'no-fly' list can buy guns (selfie?)

President Barack Obama said Saturday that it is "insane" that people who are not allowed to fly on planes are allowed to buy guns.

"Right now, people on the No-Fly list can walk into a store and buy a gun. That is insane. If you're too dangerous to board a plane, you're too dangerous, by definition, to buy a gun," he said in his weekly address. "And so I'm calling on Congress to close this loophole, now. We may not be able to prevent every tragedy, but -- at a bare minimum -- we shouldn't be making it so easy for potential terrorists or criminals to get their hands on a gun that they could use against Americans."

No fly list.....buying guns. What am I missing here. Sounds like insane yammering to me. Hello kettle. No fly list, terror watch list? Some of which is arbitrary in the first place. Get on it for whatever reason and good luck getting off.

But it makes sense that 70 of them work at Obama’s Homeland Security?

Have any of these shooters been on a ‘no fly’ list. It seems like most of them have been flying between here and the Muslim countries w/out any problem.

Next step: put everyone on the no-fly list. Mission accomplished.

It’s insane that they’re still in the country running around free if they’re Muslims under suspicion. Deport them!

The next time this wimp gets on an airplane, make sure it’s a one way ticket and then put him on the terror list to make sure he can’t come back...

The no-fly list should be subject to a due process appeal. It shouldn’t be an end-run to blacklist anyone from gun ownership.

The no fly list is pretty iffy in many respects.

Isn’t the FBI responsible for that list? They also do the NICS checks. Neither is perfect.

Sounds like he’s giving away a secret....that they were on a no-fly list.

bozo, half the Muslims you are importing to America would likely rate the no fly list EXCEPT THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO ACTUALLY VET THEM!

There’s probably at least one DOG on the no-fly list!

A secret list and they don’t have to tell you why you’re on it.

What could go wrong ....
