Another part had this. The government has no authority to block firearm sales to terror suspects and the NRA wants to keep it that way.

Then I think of the Fast and Furious an when does our government care unless they can restrict citizens.

The so called terror watch list is nonjudicial. So a mere suspicion can get you on it.

- I’m willing to bet a lot of them are non-muslims that are being placed on this watch list. Obama consider tea partiers as terrorists

Does that list include tea-party members?

Until these people on “terrorism watch lists” do something crimnal, they are entitled to purchase any firearm they wish.

Especially since there is no explanation as to how someone gets on to the list, and what they can do to get off of it.

>>> ... a report from the federal agency finds that over 2,000 individuals on the FBI’s terrorist watch list have indeed successfully and legally purchased a firearm from 2004 to 2014. <<<

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the feds weren’t allowed to track individuals purchasing firearms or create a registry of purchasers.

“Terrorism watch list”. Elsewhere they are saying it’s the “No-Fly list”. Major problems with this list.

1) A multitude of federal, state, and even foreign agencies can put names on this list. But *nobody* is “in charge of the list”.

2) Once names are put on the list, *nobody* can through a normal process, *remove* that name from the list.

3) The FBI maintains thick files on a vast number of people, but these are “raw files”, basically anything they can find or hear, without any substantiation, about a person. That is why these raw files are distilled to much thinner, actual, verifiable data, which is the only data the FBI is supposed to use.

However, this list is a “raw files” list. Thus anyone can be smeared by someone who hates them by putting them on the list.

Probably the vast majority of people on this list haven’t done anything wrong, or are suspected of doing anything wrong. Many people have been banned just because they shared a *name* with someone on the list, and there was no way to tell who was who.

How many “legally bought” guns have been used by terrorists lately?

So there’s a database to track them?

Here we have a sample of 2,000 people for whom the terror watch list has not yet be a reliable indicator.

Given how few people who legally purchased firearms and who were on the watch list and have used those firearms in a crime of violence, I think this says more about the failed criteria for the list than anything else.

Instead of restricting Americans right to keep and bear arms under the guise of preventing 2000 terrorist on a government watch list from purchasing firearms, you (Salon) liberal socialist need to stop giving them drivers license so they (the terrorist) can vote for your party!

Without an illegal drivers license, the so called terrorist could not purchase a firearm!

Salon is as transparent as glass! Just another attempt to restrict firearm ownership in the United States. think about it, who gets to decide what a terrorist is and is placed on the terrorist watch list?

The liberal socialist like Salon think all white Christians are terrorist, add anti-abortionist and concealed carry Americans and the list will never end!

Don't fall for this America, this is just another bite at the disarm the American people law the socialist are demanding again!

The funny thing about terror watch lists nowadays, you could end up on one for being republican, Christian and prior military. Considering the source is Salon, I’m thinking they may be raising a false flag.

Trouble is, Obama’s FBI includes on its Terrorist Watch List the entire Republican Party.
