After the December shooting in San Bernardino, CA, President Obama stated in his weekly radio address that it was “insane” to allow suspected terrorists on the country’s no-fly list to purchase guns. Shortly after, Senate Democrats introduced a measure that would have restricted anyone on the federal terrorism watch list, also known as the no-fly list, from being able to purchase firearms in the U.S. The measure did not pass after Senate Republicans voted down the measure.

These are two entirely different issues
No, but they should be subject to significantly more restrictions
No, it depends on the severity of the reason they are on the no fly list for.
Yes, I hate guns outside of hunting wildlife and defending homesteads from predatory animals.
No, this is a slippery slope that will eventually deny peoples' rights without due process
No, and we need to improve the gun/ammo buying process with stronger background checks, psychological tests, and training
It completely depends on why they’re on that list.
No, it depends why they are on the no-fly list.
No, but yes if the ones on the "no fly list" have committed crimes that are unconstitutional.
What are the requirements to be placed on the no fly list. If a person as been PROVEN to posses the requirements based of their actions and history. My answer would be yes
Yes, but only if they are not dangerous to their surroundings
It would depend what they are on the list for.
I am unsure what the "no - fly list" is.
@9L5CJG5Republican12mos
Me, the list is not accurate and unreliable
It depends on their reasoning for being put on the no fly list, and plus this would probably be unconstitutional to deny someone's rights without due process, and also depends on whether they used a gun before or not, and in what way.
@9KXL4X4Republican12mos
No, people can be placed on no fly lists by accident, and may not be aware of it.
There should be more of a background check on people on a no-fly list, but they shouldn't be outright stopped
It depends on the reason they are on the no-fly list. People convicted of violent crime should be banned from purchasing guns and ammunition.
No, but look more into why they are on the “no fly-list” and base it off of that record
Yes, if they shouldn't fly because they are suspected terrorists then they shouldn't be able to buy an semi-auto or automatic weapon.
Yes, but the ban should be temporary.
duhhhhhh yes definitely.
Only if they are background checked and found to be a suspected terrorist.
I feel that I do not know enough about this topic to contribute an answer.
why are the on the no fly list and does it have anything to do with guns? Too broad of a question.
Yes but only if there is a method to be reviewed and removed from the no-fly list for those cases where someone is flagged incorrectly.
If they are on the “no-fly list” they should have due process decided if there place on the list and there request to receive a gun is valid and does not endanger anyone.
No. The federal government should have no power to tell someone what kind of firearms they may or may not purchase. Discretion should be given to local lawmakers and firearms dealers.
Depends on why you are band from flying. If there was violence or a terrorist threat then you shouldn't be able to get ammo or a gun. Now if you had a issue that involves you needing a service animal and your service animal was denied access to you and you ended up with anxiety attacks and they band you then you should be able to buy a gun as long as you are mentally stable.
No, the no-fly list should be banned, as it is does not have due process.
Not imformed enough to form opinion
It would depend on what they were put on there for
no cause last I read, you can sometimes have the same name as the other person, error of individuals, and cause it can be placed there by the word of mouth
Only until a no-fly list screening process is improved for accuracy and includes due process and it's beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person is too dangerous.
Yes, but only if they have been charged and found guilty of a felony in federal court. The no-fly list itself shouldn't be the sole or primary determining factor
No, not unless their reason from being banned would be constituted as criminal/ seriously dangerous
No, and the no-fly list must be improved for accuracy and to include due process.
The no fly lacks due process and needs major reform before this rule can be implemented
Only if you are tested and said to be dangerous.
@9R7ML7GConstitution10mos
Any and all control of armaments as per the 2nd amendment is a violation of your 2nd, 8th, 9th and 14th amendment.
People with ties to terrorist groups or are suspected to be a terrorist should be banned from buying guns and ammo.
@9QDYCBWLibertarian11mos
No, no adult should be banned from purchasing guns and ammunition
@9Q6RPRGRepublican11mos
On the edge, it is indeed a slippery slope that will lead to the govt to take away our guns but at the same point if you are deemed too dangerous to get on a plane you shouldn’t have a gun.
Only if they are proven guilty
Suspected terrorists should not be allowed entry into the country.
It depends on why they ended up on the no-fly list
If an individual seller wants to refuse to sell to a person, that seller has the right to freedom of association.
@9MX98N9Progressive12mos
The "no-fly list" is a small section U.S. government Terrorist Screening Database. No one in the database should be allowed to purchase a firearm. yet, any individual how is on the list should have a legal course of appeals through the courts to be removed from the list and have the right to purchase restored.
