If 5,000 Americans is the correct number at this point (on the terror watch/"no fly"), we are talking about a tiny piece of a 325,000,000 person pie. There is no guarantee that this measure will stop the next mass shooting. However, is it a reasonable, rational thing to ban folks on this list from being able to purchase a military style, "mass kill" weapon?

Your argument is just another liberal cul-de-sac up La-La Land anti-logic. Law abiding citizens are going to continue to be law abiding no matter what kind of gun they own. They'll behave whether they own a hand gun, a shot gun, or an AR 15.

The FBI had this guy not once but twice and it was the ridiculous rules under which this administration forces agents to work that caused him to be released. That's where the conversation should be headed. But no, we have to chase yet another hare-brained liberal talking point down another rabbit hole to nowhere. If agents are not allowed to even mention the fact that this guy was a Muslim with extremist Islamic contacts no less in their report, we could put his name on the 10 most wanted list and he'd still get treated like some kind of saint. Pig has it exactly right. The list would wind up being used to harass Americans who've done nothing but pay their own way while real terrorists are given a pass. I mean, how many government run agencies have to tell us they're being told what they can and cannot do before liberals wake up? How many State Department employees have to sign a letter addressed to the President telling him he's wrong before the rest of America snaps out of this stupor?
