I'm really surprised that Republicans want people on the no-fly list to be able to purchase firearms.

Shouldn't babies be unable to buy firearms? What a dumb addition that journalist made to her headline.

Because prior military service makes one a patriot-saint, is that the implication?

Just wow.... you morons didn't even read the article, if you had, you wouldn't have said each of your stupid things.

They are "errors" in the system. They are people that aren't supposed to be on the no fly list you fools.
God, learn to read to comprehend for a change!

by the way, I also love how 72 DHS Employees are also on the "Terrorist Watch List"
Of course, to be fair, some of them also listly shouldn't be on it, but it just goes to show you liberal ran government idiocy.
It also shows you liberal standards, they are so liberal they put their ideological terrorist friends into government.

I read the article, faqs. I think you are misunderstanding my point. That the author would single out marines as an "OMG! Even THEY might not be allowed to buy a gun!" example is funny. Because, you know, prior military service is a safeguard against one carrying out a terrorist act.

Is that kinda like Active members of Congress, Air Marshals, Babies, etc.?
I got your point, it was just irrelvant. The article was about all kinds of people are on the list who shouldn't be.
It wasn't about "no Marine could ever be a terrorist". Man people!

Uh, yeah it was. It was saying, "Here's a class of persons that helps demonstrate how ridiculous the President's suggestion was."

How on earth would you know who should or should not be on that list?

Either way, I never said my opinion one way or another. It's interesting that you assume I did.

I am surprised that Republicans didn't want this passed. Especially someone like Trump who is so good at stereotyping entire populations based on a small percentage of criminals.

I also think the journalist used dumb examples, like honor said, acting like certain groups of people are beyond reproach.

Are there problems with the No-Fly List? Yes. Lack of uniform standards, lack of judicial appeal, far too long of a list. That being said improve the list, and still do not allow people on the No-Fly List to buy guns.
