Thread: DOJ overrules FBI on gun sales debate, says no-fly list can be used for ban

Attorney General Loretta Lynch overruled FBI Director James B. Comey on Thursday, saying the Obama administration does support denying firearms sales to those on terrorist watch lists and that it can be done without harming investigations.

If they actually KEPT a terror list mateen would have been on it, he was investigated several times yet he was awarded a job possibly involving nuclear sites or at least could have been assigned to them and was issued a gun for the job he had.

Haney revealed they scrubbed names off of terror lists. This is all malarkey talk and they will turn any American they please into a so called terrorists whilst the muslims rave on unscathed. You cannot trust this admin or any appointees; they are against us not with us. Proven time and time again - the illegals, the "refugees" , the border is secure, etc etc.

Would rather see a mandatory list of all muslims involved with terror talk etc compiled and used to prevent further carnage from jihadist including a MUSLIM NO FLY/NO GUNS . Extremist mosques are hands off to this admin - dead wrong! Too bad if that is profiling by political movement masked as a religion - that is what is called for. Doesn't get any plainer. Do they want to wait until they get nuclear facilities - it will be too late then.

That's right. And current law would have tipped off the FBI, so they are notified now under present law and regulations if someone on the Terror Watch List buys a gun. That would have enabled the FBI to intervene and stop this disaster.

But "someone" had his name taken off the list and unfortunately, once off the list, there is no notification, so there needs to be an extended notification period, 5 to 10 years, so that the FBI is still notified of the purchase so they can follow-up and take action when deemed appropriate to do.
