What the linked source DOES say that she said, is specifically that people who are under investigation for terrorism should not be allowed to buy weapons.
OK...if that is what the DOES say, why is an individual under investigation for terrorism allowed to walk our streets, much less buy a firearm?
The left shouts from the roof tops...."We won't let these people on our airplanes, why do we let them buy guns?!"
Why aren't they locked up? Kicked out? Do we need some "terror threat level" to attach to these people? Yellow, he made a joke about crashing an airplane into a building? Green, he muttered some anti American remarks during evening prayer? Red, he posted on Facebook that he would shoot up a bar? Are all those types banned from flying?
It seems to me....and granted, I'm just some dumb azz redneck...if we don't want them on our planes, we shouldn't have them on our streets either. But hell no says the left.... "Let's shift focus to the MILLIONS of law abiding firearms owners....among those, owners of those mean ol black 'assault rifles'....thank you terrorists for giving us that inroad! Thank you Omar Mateen, even though you weren't on a watch list, we can still screw law abiding citizens anyway!"
Now. If you want to argue that the only way to do this, would be to pass a very general law saying that "people under investigation should lose Constitutional rights," you can try to make it. It is certainly true that we suffer from a LOT of legislation in the past, which sounded good when described politically, but when written into actionable verbiage, was actually dreadful.
But again, when we talk about LAWS, it's tremendously important that we don't LIE about what's being proposed.
So. If you think people under investigation for terrorism should NOT have any restrictions put on them, fine. Argue that.
Again....why just restrict their gun buying? Lock em up, kick em out. I say, if were going to bypass the Constitution bypass it in big way.....we won't have to worry about these fanatics flying on our planes OR shooting up our clubs.
Of course, some of this is in jest....this whole "no fly no buy" yapping is a gun grab....no more, no less.
And being on some list won't deter those bent on harming us....even with mean ol 'assault weapons'. Just ask Paris.
One more thing about 'mean ol guns'....a good guy with a gun ultimately stopped Mateen, plain and simple....a FACT seemingly overlooked by the gun grabbers....and I wouldn't be surprised if it was with a version of an AR15.
