Homeland Security vs. NRA

The New York Times > National > Terror Suspects Buying Firearms, Report Finds:

"Dozens of terror suspects on federal watch lists were allowed to buy firearms legally in the United States last year, according to a Congressional investigation that points up major vulnerabilities in federal gun laws.

People suspected of being members of a terrorist group are not automatically barred from legally buying a gun, and the investigation, conducted by the Government Accountability Office, indicated that people with clear links to terrorist groups had regularly taken advantage of this gap."

Um, can we fill this gap, please? To think of the billions we've spent and we allow this....
