247 People on Terror Watch List Bought Guns in 2010

More than 200 people suspected of ties to terrorism bought guns in the U.S. last year legally, FBI figures show.

The 247 people who were allowed to buy weapons did so after going through required background checks as required by federal law.

It is not illegal for people listed on the government's terror watch list to buy weapons. For years, that has bothered Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who is trying again to change the law to keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists.

Suspected doesnt equate to actual terrorist. They could throw anyone's name on that list if Lautenberg got his wish.

Besides, wouldnt this just mean they should be watched even closer?

That 'terror watch list' is a load of crap! I have a buddy who owns his own company in Oklahoma. He's been in business for twenty five years in the same building. He travels the world designing and building chemical dispensers for concrete plants. He is a Deacon in the local church, donates huge sums of money to charity, coaches little league teams. He is on the 'list'. Why? Because his name is Gary Smith. That is all! Should he now be banned from his 2a rights for this?

According to the illegally selected Frank Lautenburg, yeah, he should be banned.

The whole due process thing has bothered Lautenberg for years.

Him, Bloomberg, and Schumer have been pushing this for years now.
They're all big pieces of shit that need to be flushed into the sewer where they belong.


I'm probably just over reacting. I'm sure I'll be able to just pick up the phone and tell my buddy Frank that I'm not a terrorist and to kindly remove my name from the list, and all will be well again.
Just as easy as when Kenedy did it...no problem.

These people are criminals and constitutional terrorists.

My thoughts exactly!

Besides, what with the TSA sexual assaults an all, we are all suspected terrorists these days.

I've had to hit "view post" on some good posts of yours lately, so you're off my ignore list now.

Good post, I agree.

Even 'criminals' can make sense.....

Said better than I could. Due process of Law means nothing to the creatures sent to represent the State of New York. What is it with New York Politicians who go out of their way to make it guilty till proven innocent?

i wonder how many real terrorists buy their guns in gun shops.
