McConnell should have read Comey the riot act.
The FBI, once again, screws up, and they want to take away the rights of millions of people as their lame response? BS.
With all due respect, what was the FBI supposed to do? The guy was born here - he is a U.S. citizen. If there was no evidence he committed a crime that could be proven in a court of law, they have no options. There are so many folks like this who seem sympathetic to ISIS there are not enough agents and resources to watch them all 24/7.
We are all ticked off, but we can’t suspend the constitution and the protections we are afforded. As others have pointed out - it does not seem like a good idea for a person on the terror watch list to buy firearms, but there is no due process involved in being on that list so whomever is in power can deem anybody - Tea Party or membership on FR - to be a terrorist.
They don’t even have to attend a radical mosque any more to go Jihadist - there is plenty of hate on the internet for a willing mind and a depraved soul.
No easy answers on this one FRiend.....
Still, I can’t help but wonder if this guy had been a Christian TEA Party member they would have found a way to lock him up in a federal holding facility.
