Thanks to the NRA Over 2000 Suspected Terrorists Were Able to Buy Guns in the U.S.
Thanks to the NRA Over 2000 Suspected Terrorists Were Able to Buy Guns in the U.S.

Here’s an issue that President Obama has been begging Congress to fix, along with pretty much all sane law enforcement: Known terrorists can buy guns legally here in the United States of “freedom”. Yes, we can’t have nice things like refusing to sell handguns or assault weapons to suspected terrorists, because the NRA is too worried about the profits of the gun manufacturers they represent.

Christopher Ingraham writing in the Washington Post reported, “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 you go, the NRA arming terrorists. In a rational political discussion about the alleged risks posed by refugees, we would be pretty focused on keeping assault weapons out of the hands of any terrorists who we are told will come in with the refugees. But notice, Republicans don’t address this, even as Chris Christie tells us that he would deny even a 3-year-old orphaned refugee. Demonstrating his failure to understand how we vet incoming refugees:

Yes, we can’t be too careful. Unless of course, it comes to guns. When it comes to guns, we should give them to EVERYONE, no questions asked. To ask a question is to infringe on second amendment rights, which are sacred, unlike your first amendment rights, according to Republicans.

“But people on the FBI’s consolidated terrorist watchlist — typically placed there when there is “reasonable suspicion” that they are a known or suspected terrorist — can freely purchase handguns or assault-style rifles,” the Post explained.

A majority of gun owners agree on these basic background checks. The Post pointed out that even Republican Peter King (R-NY) worked with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to bring forth the “Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2015”, which would have kept us from legally selling guns to terrorists. …………….

Isn’t it reassuring that the NRA is protecting your Second Amendment while ensuring that know terrorist enjoy the same rights………….

anti NRA garbage. do you think constitutional rights should be abrogated based on lack of due process or guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.? Why are you engaging in such specious straw man garbage.

I can see why you proclaim yourself to be Conservative. No liberal, concerned about civil liberties, would make such a comment.
"Suspected terrorist" is a meaningless phrase, designed not with any concern about rules of evidence, burden of proof, ability to confront the accuser and all those other treasured civil liberties that we hold dear. Or we used to hold dear. Now we announce with glee that "3 suspected terrorists were killed in a drone attack" or some such nonsense. This is so un-American but I guess fearful people don't object.

Sad.

It is a classic ploy of an autocratic state to "suspect" people and withhold liberties from them.

that's a good point. Its more a fascist position. that constitutional rights can be wiped away merely by someone putting you on a list without any die process, reasonable standards of guilt etc

Yeah, I don't know when it happened, when "liberalism" became fascism, preached by self proclaimed Liberals or Progressives, statists, who abandoned civil liberties and left Conservatives as the group more likely to support classic liberalism, the freedom of the individual. But it was to be expected. When government provides, government controls and feels free to claim to act for the good of society, at the expense of the individual.

its left wing idiocy you are spewing here

hatred of the NRA is a leftwing proclivity spawned by dislike of whom the NRA supports in elections

Denying or pretending the report must be wrong because of its source is a somewhat unsupportable and/or logical argument...........As I said before........just because you do not want to believe it does not make it so............

what part of constitutional rights cannot be pissed away for less than due process? its easy for far left gun banners to whine about the NRA but if you actually PAY ATTENTION you will learn that many on that list have not had any DUE PROCESS guarantees and abrogating constitutional rights on mere suspicions is not kosher in a free society

anyone who tries to pretend the NRA is responsible for real terrorists getting guns is a hard core gun banner who is immune to the truth

Well if that is so...........how can you defend the NRA's rock-hard opposition to any type of common sense gun regulations?

This was one item which was among many of the proposals for common sense rules
 
Re: Thanks to the NRA Over 2000 Suspected Terrorists Were Able to Buy Guns in the U.S

And thanks to President Obama, there were 2000 terrorists here to BUY them.


Only one problem with your post my dear............


The FBI has been monitoring domestic and other type of terrorist since before WWII.......so saying Obama is the sole one responsible is to give him too much power.......

And if,as you seem to agree, terrorists should not be able to buy guns................You would then support common sense gun measures.............like Terrorist Cannot Buy Guns
