The NRA and GOP Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina think so. A new Government Accountability Office report showed that individuals on the terrorist watch list were able to buy firearms and explosives from licensed U.S. dealers 1,119 times over the past six years.

Le Chiffre – that would seem to be an argument against having any laws that prohibit possession of items…that people will break the law anyway, so why have laws at all…drug laws, for example. Now I’m not saying I disagree or agree with that…but that seems awfully extreme….why have new immigration laws? They will break them anyway…etc.
People…this is a legitimate question…I’m not certain how I feel about it. I agree that not all on the watch list are terrorists…and that they are innocent until proven guilty…and that rights should not be taken away without proof. I wonder if you extend the same thought process to Hispanic American’s in AZ and mirandizing American citizens such as the recent Times Square bomber.
