New York Times:

People on the government's terrorist watch list tried to buy guns nearly 1,000 times in the last five years, and federal authorities cleared the purchases 9 times out of 10 because they had no legal way to stop them, according to a new government report.

God forbid that the government might offend the NRA by not allowing such purchases...a law to prevent it would never get past a republican filibuster...they rather want such people like Scott Roeder to own guns so they can help fulfill their other goals.

The Repubs don't have enough people to filibuster, but that doesn't matter, because not many Dems would vote for that anyway.

"they rather want such people like Scott Roeder to own guns so they can help fulfill their other goals."
That's fearmongering.

The "threat" to the second amendment is entirely in wing nuts' heads.
