Obama now wants guns from these 47,000 people
If the federal government doesn’t want the 47,000 people on its No-Fly List to board airplanes, those individuals should be banned from ever owning guns, President Obama argued in his Sunday address from the Oval Office – but if his proposal ever becomes law, America could see U.S. Marines, congressmen, journalists and even federal air marshals mistakenly stripped of their firearms.
“To begin with, Congress should act to make sure no one on a No-Fly List is able to buy a gun,” Obama said Dec. 6. “What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to but a semi-automatic weapon? This is a matter of national security.”
But while San Bernardino, California, terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook managed to fly to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia under the radar of federal authorities in 2014, thousands of innocent people have been mistakenly linked to U.S. terror watchlists. Some experts and critics contend the federal list process contains many errors and relies on an overly broad standard of reasonable suspicion.

If this comes to pass…just imagine the nightmare. Instead of finding-out if you are on the “No Fly List” by the only means available which protects/limits lawsuits against the government under Title 18, Sec 241 & 242, Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law…buying a cheap ticket to nowhere is NOT usually done, but just think of the overload of lawsuits from discovering you are on the list by attempting to purchase a gun on line or at a gun shop.
The “No Fly List” is very flawed and used…NOT for terrorism only, but for anyone THEY have a problem with. Then you have to ask yourself…why are 75 DHS goons on the list?? Then of course, THEY want to list you if you owe $50,000 or more to the IRS.
That would be the old proverbial “Feds shooting themselves in the foot.”
You’re right I agree.
