We better close that terrorist loophole
"By leaving this terrorist loophole open, Republicans are leaving every community in America vulnerable to attacks by terrorists armed with assault rifles and explosives purchased legally, in broad daylight," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Friday in a written statement.
The bill by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., would have the attorney general compile names of known and suspected terrorists, likely drawing from huge lists the government already keeps. Federally licensed gun dealers would be barred from selling firearms to people on that list if government officials believed they planned to use the weapons for terrorism.
Gun dealers are prohibited from selling to 10 categories of people, including many convicted criminals or those with severe mentally illness.
But people appearing on the government's terror watch lists — including those kept off from airlines — are not automatically disqualified from buying weapons from gun dealers. The FBI is notified when a background check for the purchase of firearms or explosives generates a match with the watch list, and agents often use that information to step up surveillance on suspects.

You see, what they are doing.... They'll propose a bill, throw a bunch of shit in it they know won't get a Republican vote. So when no Republican votes for the bill, they can scream that Republicans want terrorists to own weapons.HuskyInAZ said:This is a gnat on the ass of an elephant. Even you know it.

Yes, but a Prestone Protein smoothie is stronger.

But one of those suspected terrorists could be there with a gun when another terrorist strikes and stop him.

Except according to the Obama admin, anyone who is in the Tea Party or likes the Constitution is a domestic terrorist.

This is the dumbest shit you have ever posted Hondo.
I'm sure terrorists get their firearms legally. They probably also get their bombs legally too.
I'm not going to even make fun of you. This actually gave me a good laugh. -

This is just a way for democrats to brand the opposition as terrorists and attempt to disarm them. I have a feeling the III% will have something to say about it though.
