Nobody's talking about illegal aliens with guns. It was your gang of bumbling goons who voted to let those on the terror watch list buy guns. How can you prove they're all pure as the driven snow?
Well, wouldn’t you know it? “Membership in a terrorist organization does not prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives under current federal law,” according to the
Government Accountability Office and now 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.
The Washington Post
highlighted the findings of the GAO’s March report in light of Friday’s terror attacks in Paris:
"Between 2004 and 2014, suspected terrorists attempted to purchase guns from American dealers at least 2,233 times. And in 2,043 of those cases — 91 percent of the time — they succeeded. There are about 700,000 people on the watch-list — a point that civil libertarians have made to underscore that many on the list may be family members or acquaintances of people with potential terrorist connections."
