watch list

Got this new piece at Walmart son!

Tell me this sentence doesn’t make you feel a little uneasy:

“When people on the government’s terrorist watch list have tried to buy guns or explosives in recent years, the government has let them the vast majority of the time.”

What the fuck?  Can somebody please enlighten me as to why a “potential terrorist” would be allowed to buy firearms in our own country?  Call me naive, but I fail to see the intelligence behind that.

“”Under current law, there is no basis to automatically prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives because they appear on the terrorist watch list,” wrote the GAO’s director of homeland security and justice issues, Eileen R.”

I’m sorry…what?  Eileen R, say that sentence to me again and this time look me in the eyes and keep a straight face.  Try it, I dare you.  “No basis to automatically prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives because they appear on the terrorist watch list.”

Fucking what?  NO BASIS!?!  THIS has no basis, remember that kid?  That 8 year old boy wasn’t allowed to board a flight, yet he doesn’t know the meaning of ‘terrorist’.  THAT Eileen doesn’t have an ounce of basis.
