U.S. Allowed Terrorists on No-Fly List to Buy Guns

The only thing stupider than allowing a known foreign terrorist into the United States may be allowing that terrorist to buy guns.

Current U.S. law allows this to happen. It also allows known terrorists on the no-fly list to buy guns. Perhaps worse still, the U.S. government has approved background checks for watch-listed terrorists to possess explosives in the United States.

Wow… They make average citizens jump through hoops and feel like criminals while buying guns legally, but it’s perfectly fine for known terrorists to purchase weapons? Sounds like the system isn’t working as it should…

    Bullcrap. Federal Law does NOT allow foreign nationals to buy guns here unless it is a government to government transfer initiated by our military or State Departments.
    That prevents any foreign terrorists from buying guns legally here.
    BTW, Ted Kennedy was on that list and no one knows who is on that list or WHY they are on that list except for some government agencies that did NOT take the people listed to court before depriving them of their civil rights.
    OTOH, if those terrorists are walking across our pourous border with Mexico, they very well can carry any weapons they want. Hence the reason we should take positive control of our border with Mexico.
