Here's the thing. If you put someone on a terrorist watch list and then bar them from purchasing a firearm, you give them an easy way to tell if they're on a terrorist watch list or not. Once they know they're being watched, they will behave differently. Intelligence gathering will, thereby, become impossible. This is a bad idea for this reason.

But our Government can always be counted on to do the wrong thing so, why stop now?

Yep. My mother, age 72 was on the no fly list....some scumbag with similar name with warrants out. Took her MONTHS to get off of it, with the help of liberal Dem. Vic Snyder believe it or not.

The headache didn’t end there. YEARS after getting off the list, I got her signed up for TSA Precheck and Global Entry. Nope. Feds say she can’t have TSA precheck or Global entry because, at one point, she was on a no fly list. A couple of thousand dollars in lawyer fees letter, with Senator John Bozeman and Congressman Tim Griffin, we FINALLY persuaded them that she is a good citizen.

72 years old, 800+ credit score, no arrests, no traffic citations, NOTHING....(she did get a C in badminton in 1958).

The “No fly/No Buy” legislation sounds good, but the .gov will screw that up too. Call your Congresscritter and Senator and tell them this story.

I will.

Guns didn’t kill anyone in Orlando, an Islamic terrorist did.

They’ve managed again to change the conversation. No one’s even talking about the terrorists in the msm, only guns.

.Gov bans felons from owing guns. Yet still releases them from prison. If they as are so dangerous to be not allowed to own a firearm, then they are too dangerous to be in society. Just as a bad guy can kill people without a gun...duh.

All gun restrictions need to be scrapped.

If they are on a watch list why haven’t they already been investigated?

Trump should discuss 3D printing guns and the possibility of mass orders of the Ghost Gunner. Get on the ban list? Buy a printer and as many 80% blanks as you please and laugh while you print ar-10’s or 15’s. And you don’t even have to use payment methods linked to you.
